Come to the blogging community BoF on Thursday, and you might...

January 23 2007

...be writing on edbrill.com next week (or the week after)!

I said the other day that I would come up with some kind of thank you for those of you who can manage to get to the 7 AM blogging community birds-of-a-feather on Thursday.  Since Lotusphere rules prevent me from doing a giveaway or a drawing, I had to get really creative.

So, I'm going to make this offer.  For up to five participants who bring good topics to the BoF, they'll "win" a day as a guest blogger on edbrill.com.  My hope would be that we could give broader visibility to some voices from Lotusphere -- perhaps conference summaries or explanation of something really cool learned at Lotusphere.

The guest blogging slots will be Monday to Friday, either next week or the week after (have to give that some more thought).  Of course the offer is non-transferable, and the odds of me choosing one of the Microsoft employees attending Lotusphere are slim and none.  But let's have some fun with the idea.

    I got an SMS late last night from a UK colleague, who told me that my blog had just been mentioned in a presentation at Lotusphere - excellent :-)

    Great work from all of the bloggers over there, I'm feeling quite connected!

    Yes, a very big mention too Andy. Your blog has just been added to my 'roll.

    Ed, I hope you've got a big room allocated for tomorrow - I have never heard so many people suggesting they're so keen to get to a 7am appointment ;-)

    Ugh.. you mean not only do I have to get to a 7AM session, I have to THINK beforehand? I think that qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.

    Win a day as a guest blogger? At 7AM all I'd want to win is an I.V. drip of black coffee.

    Ed, I really want to come to your BOF on Thursday but that is also the time slot for BOOM101 -- a session to help show support for the Lotus Notes client on MAC. Many beta testers are urge to attend.

    It would be awesome to do both or meet you (as a fellow Chicagoan) as both session are in the Swan.

    Can honorable mention prizes be added to your blog roll?

    Hope to run into you Thursday at Lotusphere.

    Ed, I really think you want to reserve the right to reject content here.

    @6 - Spoken like an admin. You probably think developers should use OpenLog to report errors to DDM so you can flog them, too. ;-)

    I actually agree with you and I look forward to seeing who the winners are. I don't remember much of what was discussed, but it wasn't a very coherent morning for me.
