I gave another Oslo presentation at Tampa Code Camp over the weekend. It was a really well-attended event and I had about 40 people at my talk. I had some really good questions and it seemed like people are starting to understand the implications of Oslo could have in our industry. I tweaked my ONETUG presentation based on some feedback that I got a few weeks ago and I showed some cool demo’s that I found in the Oslo Dev Center as well. Here are the slides and code samples.

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
