The next version of SharePoint will officially be called SharePoint 2010. It was announced today that SharePoint 2010 will have the following system requirements:
- SharePoint Server 2010 will be 64-bit only.
- SharePoint Server 2010 will require 64-bit Windows Server 2008 or 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2.

Our project manager is getting her scrum master certification. She reminded me of the classic pig and chicken story. Here it is for the record:
A Pig is someone who has skin in the game. Mike Cohn aptly refers to the people in that role as, “Having their Bacon on the line.”
Pig roles are considered core team members. Performers. People who “do” work.
Get it?
I would consider the roles of both Product Owner and the ScrumMaster to be pigs on a team.
A Chicken is someone who has something to gain by the Pigs performing, but in the end, really do not contribute day to day to “getting things done.” Their “eggs” are a renewable resource, and many get laid (eggs that is).
I get asked the following question by many people when starting to use Scrum:
“Can I be a Pig and Chicken at the same time?”
No.
You cannot be a Pig and a Chicken at the same time.
