Two weeks to Lotusphere 2010
January 2 2010
I can't believe it's only two weeks away! We're in the final countdown to Lotusphere 2010, and as usual, the preceding weeks are a flurry of activity to put the show together. I'll be in our Massachusetts labs this week to review keynotes and session content, as well as work on some last-minute decisions, demonstrations, and discussions. As usual, there will be some Lotusphere "magic" in there, too!
I just took a look at the registration list (which is trending almost exactly the same as Lotusphere 2009) and realized that I know or recognize the names of about 1/3rd of all of those who will be at the conference. That is a lot of pressure on my name recollection skillz... but also means an opportunity to meet more than half of you for the first time. I hope I will see you in one of my sessions -- the Notes/Domino strategy mini-keynote on Monday afternoon (Kevin Cavanaugh's keynote), Lotusphere Idol! auditions on Tuesday, and the "Oral history of Lotus Notes: The first 20 years" with Scott Souder on Wednesday afternoon. That session is going to be so cool, and people keep sending me stuff to include.
Looking forward to seeing so many of you in just two weeks -- and remember, if you aren't part of the plan yet, there's still time to register for the full conference or the one-day conference passes (new this year!).

Would have loved to have been there, especially since we are a finalist in two awards. However, it is a huge expense from Australia.
The cost for just one person including accom, fares and Lotusphere entrance is over $10,000.
Still, maybe next year when our Domino software really takes off, it's looking good so far.

Ed,
If you're going to do the "Lotus Knows" bus, and play on the "Microsoft Knows, Too", then you might ask the question: What time is it, anyway.
After some research into the NTP, it seems that Microsoft Windows has some trouble knowing what time it is. See { Link }
Google, it seems, also has just started to figure-out how to tell time, at least as far as C&S applications are concerned.
Why is this important? Well, it seems that since 2007, certain rules have come into play, in the US Courts, and elsewhere, that deem that 200ms time differences can violate rules of evidence, and lead to absurd judicial outcomes.
But, furthermore, and besides, if a company doesn't care enough about getting the time right, how much care would they put into getting anything else right?

Ed,
So, the current search on Facebook for "Lotus Notes" reveals trash.
Can't you do something to clean this up? Maybe spend you $16 to get facebook to remove the trash groups and link to something worthwhile?
Later,

Can't wait!
We're demonstrating Crossware Mail Signature for the 3rd year running. Well worth it.
Drop in at booth #617 for a demo, we have a prize draw for an iphone for everyone who gets scanned at the booth.
See you there!
Sigh. Sure wish I was going.
