Project Server 2010–Server CU released, and other topical news

Been quiet on the blogging front as I have been on vacation, enjoying the delights of Greece and France!  Now back and nearly caught up on e-mail and see they saved the release of the SharePoint Server Server CU for my return.  Christophe posted the link on the Admin blog at http://blogs.technet.com/b/projectadministration/archive/2010/07/22/microsoft-project-server-and-sharepoint-2010-june-cu-2010-are-live.aspx so I won’t repeat everything.

Other good posts while I was away:

• Jan’s excellent coverage of the Project Portfolio Server 2007 to Project Server 2010 migration at http://blogs.technet.com/b/projectadministration/archive/2010/07/21/anouncing-project-portfolio-server-2007-migration-documentation-to-project-server-2010-just-released.aspx 
• Jan’s list of resources for those looking to evaluate Project Server 2010 – (and why wouldn’t you?) at http://blogs.technet.com/b/projectadministration/archive/2010/07/20/what-s-new-project-2010-evaluation-options-and-resources.aspx
• Jan’s answer, courtesy of Hans Bellen of UMT, for those demo’ing Project via Hyper-V on laptops and seeing blue screens - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/project_programmability/archive/2010/07/16/does-your-demo-laptop-with-intel-core-i3-i5-i7-cpu-bluescreens.aspx
• Marc’s link to some new French content on TechNet -  http://blogs.technet.com/b/frenchpjblog/archive/2010/07/16/3344592.aspx and I also tested by changing the fr-fr in the TechNet link to de-de and es-es and see the same content is also available in German and Spanish (and possibly others?).
• Jim Corbin’s article on debugging Project Server workflows - http://blogs.technet.com/b/frenchpjblog/archive/2010/07/16/3344592.aspx, as well as his article on writing a PSI extension at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/project_programmability/archive/2010/07/06/writing-a-psi-extension-for-project-server-2010.aspx – great work!
• Glad to see Christophe has passed the Project Server exam http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chrisfie/archive/2010/07/12/just-passed-exam-70-177-ts-microsoft-project-server-2010-configuring.aspx.  I take this next week, after challenging my team to get certified before me, and making a charitable donation to St. Jude for all who did (I am down $100 so far…)..
• Updated my link to Brian Kennemer’s blog in my links section, as Brian is now back out in the real world.
• Oh, and apparently Spain won the World Cup.  I only found at a few days after the event, from a Russian guy who ran the local grocery store in Metamorfosi, Peloponnese  where we were staying.  And if you woke up to a view like this each morning – would you care about football?  Or Project?
