⚜️ The SharePoint 25 Tribute I Was Preparing

A little while ago, I wrote that I was preparing something new for SharePoint’s 25th anniversary.

This is the follow-up to that post, and now I can finally say a bit more about it.

SharePoint 25 tribute

The project is a small website created as a tribute to 25 years of SharePoint. It is not meant to be a corporate timeline or a technical deep dive. Instead, it is something more personal: an interactive experience built around poetry, music, timing, and visuals, celebrating the people who have worked with SharePoint across very different eras.

I wanted it to feel a little different.

Not just another article looking back, but something with a bit more emotion in it, something that could capture part of the atmosphere of the journey.

The idea was to blend timed lyrics, audio, and a visual tribute into a small experience that feels closer to a celebration than a documentation page.

And at the center of it all is the same thought that pushed me to start this in the first place:

this tribute is for the people.

It is for those who worked with SharePoint in the old on-prem days, when server rooms, patching farms, upgrade weekends, deployment headaches, and late-night troubleshooting were just part of the rhythm.

It is also for those who came later, through the SharePoint Online years, the modern experience, the Microsoft 365 wave, and all the new ways of building, collaborating, automating, and shaping digital workplaces.

Across all those phases, one thing stayed consistent: the people behind the work.

Admins, developers, consultants, architects, makers, and the wider community helped shape what SharePoint became over these 25 years. They solved problems, shared knowledge, built solutions, supported customers, and kept pushing the platform forward in ways that rarely get captured in a release note.

That is what this project is really about.

It is a small celebration of that journey. Of that effort. Of that history.

And of everyone who, in one way or another, helped write it.

PS- Do stick till it finishes, and play all styles, there’s some awesomeness at the end.. 🤠
