Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

Anticipation has been building all summer on a number of fronts here at Bamboo.  Who won the iPad for participating in Bamboo’s Customer Survey in August?  When will promised updates to Bamboo’s three most popular SharePoint Web Parts be available?  What will this fall’s Bamboo t-shirt look like, and how can I get one? When can I get my hands on SharePoint 2010? 

This edition of the Bamboo eNews provides the answers to these burning questions.  The quick summary is, “Sorry, not you”, “Right now!”, “It’s easy!” and “Right now!”, but please allow us to give you a little bit more detail, below.

Cheers,

Team Bamboo
