The first day is free -- that's the "marketing event" on the 15th. The 16th to the 19th are technical sessions, more along the lines of an admin or developer-focused conference. The budget should be from a training perspective moreso than a simple "go see what the vendor's up to" perspective. Was trying to convey that by indicating that I won't be there myself -- the presenters will be consultants, IT specialists, product managers, etc.]]>

At the risk of sounding negative when the fact the event is being held is good positive news; I can't help thinking that its wrong to charge so much for a vendor showcase - doesn't it ultimately help out the vendor as much as the attendees?]]>

Good to hear IBM is going to make an effort in Sydney, but $3k is very steep against other comparable events. Also, there is not much detail about tracks, venues, early bird offers.

Can you shed some light here ? This may help justify the cost. I think in the current economic climate the pricing is prohibitive, considering you could buy a full-price ticket to Lotusphere 2008 for $2195 (USD), which is a presentation panacea, where as this is only a regional event with a limited agenda.]]>

We have a number of our users moving to Exchange as a "test" because Salesforce.com doesn't have a connector with 8.0.1. 8.01 users (pilot group of about 50 - most have 2 gig ram) like the 8 UI but the slowness of the startup and the SFC issue is causing the push to Exchange to continue. Our CIO, now on Exchange, is not thrilled w/it but the network/operations manager is pushing hard.

I hope 8.0.2 is released soon.]]>

I have a general query, does the compacting of databses work properly for mail file sizes of over 2.5 GB and in an scenario where there is no quota set up for the users?

We are facing this issue in a client location where the client does not want to set up quota in his organisation and blames that compact does not work; can anyone help me by proving some valid documents or technotes frm IBM site that setting up of quota is mandatory and compacting works well for small mail file sizes.

thanks in advance]]>

I like to see the complete mix of blog posts on PlanetLotus.org - not just the Notes/Domino ones. I really enjoy learning more about the people behind the blog than reading yet another post on how to export Notes data to Excel. This is one thing I miss about the Lotus Blogosphere - blogs have gone purely geeky and have lost their personal side.]]>

Just like you, I've experienced the same decrease in the number of emails. And, it's nothing that I've done on purpose. Just like you my responsibilities have changed and increased over the past year, yet my emails continue to decline. I can only attribute it to my blog: more and more people are consuming my knowledge through there (or through my social bookmarks) and there's no need to 'poke' me via email for the typical: "hey luis, do you know where I can find X for Y customer with integration to Z??"

This, in turn, has made me more productive at my job, allowing me to share more! The irony on all this is that at first, I didn't feel comfortable sharing my knowledge, fearing that my employer could get rid of me. What I've found, is that now I have more executive visibility and a farther reach to other parts within IBM. Blogging and Bookmarking (socially) have really helped me expand my network, which is important for career growth!]]>
