SharePoint Events and news catch up for Australia - April/May 2016
/I was preparing this list for our April Sydney SharePoint Usergroup event.
April 28-29 Digital Workplace Conference in Melbourne
This is the annual Australian SharePoint Conference / ShareThePoint Conference by Debbie Ireland. The biggest Australian SharePoint show for the year. A lot of opportunity for networking, user cases and physically meeting and talking with the community experts. Lots of Australian and overseas visiting SharePoint experts across the spectrum (IT Pro, Business, Power User, Dev) at this event. http://dwcau.com.au/

OneDrive for Business
There was a recent blog post was really good with information on 2016 roadmap.
(Ignore the marketing intro about industry recognition… the roadmap items like Win 8.1, pause sync, and also Doc Lib sync in 3rd quarter 2016 is good info)
New Document Library UX went live
Almost universally, the reception is cautious. We like seeing updates. We don't like missing ribbons and hiding team collaboration features. Robert Crane has one of the earliest pieces on this http://blog.ciaops.com/2016/04/this-seems-like-siloing-to-me.html that I really echo with.
