More places to look for Team System Information

I just finished the OnRamp240 event in Charlotte yesterday, and there were a couple of items that they wanted me to post. So, here goes:

Project structure, branching, and promotion guidance from some Microsoft specialists in that area.

www.codeplex.com/VSTSGuidance

Lots of "what to do", "why to do it", and "how to do it" advice on Team System from our patterns and practices group.

Visual Studio Team System Basics Training

A Virtual PC 2004 image with intermediate-level hands-on labs. It's a very good way to learn your way around Team System. The version from last autumn expired; retrieve this one if you need to keep working with it.

It can be used with Virtual PC 2007 or Virtual Server 2005 R2.

By the way, I have incorrect email addresses for some of you. If you haven't received follow up information from the OnRamp events then (1) I don't have your email address or (2) The email address I have for you is wrong.
