| Hello New Hampshire User Group Members,
Dreamforce
I made it back from Dreamforce @ San Francisco safely. It was a lot of fun and very educational, too. If you weren’t able to make it, you can still experience some of the event online. You can see the Keynote speeches by going here or here.
The big announcement of the week was the new Salesforce Collaboration Cloud called Chatter. This cloud will allow you to have a facebook/twitter – like collaboration within your organization. You can follow objects or people in your org, allowing you to see any events that affect those people or objects. During the Opening Keynote, Salesforce Co-founder Parker Harris said to Marc Benioff: “Your apps are talking”. Visit the Chatter Web Page to view a demo of this new Cloud.
If you attended Dreamforce and would like to download content, you can do so at the Attendee Portal by clicking the Content link on the left.
Even if you didn’t attend Dreamforce, you can view Breakout Sessions on You Tube.
New Salesforce Materials
Salesforce has released 3 documents in the past week. These documents are:
- The new release of the Force.com Cookbook
- Force.com Fundamentals, An Introcution to custom application development in the cloud
- The Force.com Workbook, quick 30 minute tutorials to build your first app in the cloud

The next NHUG Meeting?
JP and I have yet to pick a date for our next meeting, or to put together a list of presenters. If you are interested in presenting or know of a product or feature that you’d like to see presented, then please let us know. As soon as we know more about the next meeting, we’ll let you know.
Take care,
Paul Overy
