I've been getting a lot of questions about the Lotusphere 2005 sessions in the last few days.  Understandably, some of you (or your bosses) are waiting to see what the session content is going to be before deciding on whether to attend or not.
The final session approvals are happening this week.  Sometime during the week, a list of "subject to change" session titles will be posted to the Lotusphere site under "tracks and sessions".  The final list, with time slots and abstracts, will be posted later... but you can use the titles as a general guide.
Some note that the CLP discount for Lotusphere registration was originally scheduled to expire on December 1.  Good news -- the deadline on the CLP discount has been extended to December 15th!  There will be more details in Monday's issue of CLiPpings.
If there are questions I can answer for you around Lotusphere content, please let me know.  Based on the 99% final list, I feel very good about delivering on the commitment to increase Notes/Domino content vs. LS04, as well as providing more "here and now" content.  There are also some pretty cool sessions approved on the Workplace product family, including new technologies for both end users and developers.  Last, the number of Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (which will be announced a bit later) is up, and they aren't all at 7 AM anymore.  All in all, I'm pumped about Lotusphere 05 from a content perspective... and I don't even know who the guest keynote speaker will be...yet.
