I presented an intro-level presentation on “Oslo” last night at ONETUG. The presentation went pretty well and it seemed that people left the meeting with a pretty good understanding about the technology and what it can do and what it means for the future of software development. Here are the slides and code samples. I will post again over the weekend with a more detailed overview of the presentation. Thanks to everyone that came out!

Another approach which works well is to have the XML tag reference a custom TFS group. In my case there is a master contributor group shared between projects so rather than list all the contributor users in the template AssignedTo list boxes I created a TFS group called ‘TeamAssignments’ and within security I referenced the team. Then in the templates I added the tag ListItem value=[project]\TeamAssignments. Now when anyone is added to the team they are displayed in the AssignedTo List box. This also means that another team can be created without changing the templates as the changes can be done in security.
TFS Team Name: Blue (example set up in security)
TFS Group Name: TeamAssignments
Members: Team Blue
