During the Olympics, we were really pleased to learn that SharePoint mega-expert, author, MVP, and well known blogger, Dan Holme, was visiting Vancouver (Colligo’s home) as Microsoft Technologies Consultant for NBC Sports. Of course I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to meet in person and host him at Colligo.

He got an opportunity to meet a bunch of members of the Colligo team. You can see a picture of him here on our balcony overlooking false creek. He’s proudly wearing one the coveted Colligo “Share” shirts.

We got to know him a bit better at the bobsleigh event at Whistler, too. He’s a terrific guy and wicked-smart. So, many thanks to Dan for hanging out with us a bit and letting us soak up some of your wisdom!

Also, thanks for the kind words in your blog here and here. Hope you had a good trip back home to Maui!

We also had the pleasure of attending a few events with our friends from Syntergy and Metalogix. One of those was the “Super Combined” downhill Skiing event at Whistler Creekside. As you can see from the photo on the right, it was a beautiful sunny day. We saw US skiier, Bode Miller, win the Gold Medal. What an amazing, and inspiring, athlete. Bode won three medals at the 2010 Winter Olympics – Gold in Super Combined, Silver in Super G, and Bronze in Downhill – Wow!

As growing companies, Colligo, Metalogix, and Syntergy are all aspiring to win gold medals with our SharePoint customers. It was great to be able to enjoy the event with Doug Arthur of Syntergy, his wife, Carole, and Stephen Cawood of Metalogix.
