M365 Miami - Feb 6, 2026

M365 Miami - Feb 6, 2026

I’m very excited to announce I’ll be in Miami for the Microsoft 365 Community Day Miami event. This will be my first time speaking in Miami, but have heard so many awesome things about the event and the city itself. If you are in the area, please come by and say hello. I always love meeting new people and catching up with old friends.

Where is Don?

Where is Don?

I am still around! As with so many people, life happens and keeping my blog up to date dropped below the active line. Rest assured, I have not been inactive during my “absence,” just not updating my blog as much as I would like. I know I have a couple of historical articles that people still come up to me at conferences and tell me they use them all the time, which makes me proud, but also guilty that I have not been keeping those updated. As we all know, an article that covered ground-breaking changes 3 years ago is now out of date and potentially misleading. So, I will be working on updating those articles over the next few months.

Community Cloudcast - Discussing the true cost of Cloud Computing

Community Cloudcast - Discussing the true cost of Cloud Computing

I recently had the opportunity to join the crew from Community Cloudcast to discuss the true cost of moving to the cloud. Normally, the show has three hosts: Eric Shupps, Jason Himmelstein, and Paul McCollum.


Unfortunately, Jason and Paul were not available, so Eric and I tackled the subject on our own. As always, discussions with Eric are very informative, as well as entertaining.

You can watch the entire webcast below. I had a lot of fun doing this and hope to be invited back for future discussions.

Join me at M365 Collaboration Conference in June

Join me at M365 Collaboration Conference in June

Conferences are slowing coming back and I am personally looking forward to talking to attendees, sponsors, and speakers in person again. First on the agenda this year is the M365 Collaboration Conference (formally the SharePoint Conference) in Orlando, FL, Jun 8-10. The “big” conference is still scheduled for Las Vegas in December, but this is a hybrid event that promises to be an exciting time as we transition from the virtual world we have lived in for the past year. I am honored to be chosen to deliver a couple of sessions during the conference and am looking forward to the trip.
