Lotusphere 2007 sessions posted

November 19 2006

The complete list of Lotusphere 2007 main conference sessions and breakouts has been posted on the Lotusphere website.  BoFs are being finalized along with customer panels -- you should see those by Tuesday.  

Take a look and see if we've delivered on the promise to continue to increase the technical content at Lotusphere.  As an example, ID210 -- Lotus Domino I/O costs: Domino 8 and beyond -- I think this is as deep into the internals as we've gone for a Lotusphere breakout.

You'll also see a substantial increase in Lotus Notes sessions, as well as a whole sub-track called "Sametime, all the time", with a bunch of additional, detailed content on Sametime.  Also on the agenda are some clues as to new product areas that will be announced or previewed at the conference, along with more focus on recent announcements such as Lotus Component Designer and Lotus Expeditor.

    Thanks for getting the word out.

    As a speaker, I have to say I find it frustrating every year that the speaker names are not placed on the pocket guide. I see that they are not on this site either.

    It's not the end of the world, but given the time it takes to create content -- especially this year which is so heavily geared to brand new content -- it would be nice to get a bit more up front credit for that work. I realize that this show has no shortage of speaker applicants and doesn't have to do anything at all. Still, it would be nice.

    From an attendee perspective, there are some speakers I will go see regardless of the topic, and some topics I will see regardless of the speaker. The information belongs right next to the title, IMO.

    Andrew, I fully agree with your points, even though it does not appear that I will be going this year.

    Ed - "HND104 - Ajax for IBM Lotus Domino Hands-On" says its corresponding breakout session is "JMP103 Operating System Soup - Which Flavor Tastes Best with IBM Lotus Domino?" I think that might be wrong, it should probably be "JMP301 JavaScript and AJAX JumpStart".

    I very much appreciate that this is available before the final registration price break, which ends on December 8th.

    Nothing to tell about the new productivity tools which might replace MsOffice at 120+ million Notes users, which will be shipped free of charge with Notes 8?

    Or did I miss the session details?

    @2 - While I've never seen the speaker names on the pocket guide, I do recall them eventually making their way into the session abstracts that are posted on the Lotusphere website (plus speaker bios).

    Also, the Lotusphere Agenda database that Ben Langhinrichs puts together is a great resource for viewing the sessions (by speaker, track, time slot, etc.). I tend to use this rather than the pocket guide.

    Ed, Who has session HND203, Mail routing? I figure they should be aware of the differences between lotusscript lookups and @function lookups as it affects a web client sending an email via Native Notes mail routing. And hopefully enlighten us why Iris did this.

    Or you can just ask them to contact me about this.

    @8 it appears to be Andrew Pollack's session.

  1. 10  Charles Robinson http://cubert-codepoet.blogspot.com | 11/20/2006 10:02:37 AM

    The big agenda book lists the session speakers, but it doesn't list the schedule. I remember very well having to sit down, pull out the pocket guide to get the schedule, and then cross-reference the big book to get the speaker names. I agree, it is a very important piece of information.

    @5 The productivity editors will also get some time in BP204 - Integration of OpenOffice and IBM Lotus Notes and Domino

  1. 12  John J. Coolidge  | 11/20/2006 10:24:05 AM

    Ben Langhinrichs has a LS session db he posts for download each year it has all session/speaker/schedule info together.

    I just think it's cool that Chris and I are BP10freakin1. There's just something neat about being first on the list. Even if we end up last in the evals. :-)

  1. 14  Bruce Elgort http://www.TakingNotesPodcast.com | 11/20/2006 1:17:08 PM

    @Nathan,

    That's funny as I associated the 101 number with first grade :-)

  1. 15  Mike Lazar  | 11/20/2006 4:15:54 PM

    Or lame freshman general classes...

  1. 16  Nathan T. Freeman http://www.openntf.org/nathan/escape.nsf | 11/20/2006 4:18:04 PM

    I've seen apps that you two design. Yeah, freshman level is about your speed. Hell, Bruce's stuff looks like it was designed by a blind man.

    Oh.... wait a sec...

    ;-)

  1. 17  Mike Lazar  | 11/20/2006 4:22:31 PM

    Nathan -- You know I'm not a developer. I can't think in the warped way that you folks do... I mean with you, Bruce, Dovid, et al, I'd be scared to be associated...wait...crap, I am associated with you guys. How did that happen? Oh, right, I'm blind, just like Bruce & Dovid. Not Brucian proportions, but you certainly don't want me driving or navigating without corrective lenses.

    I am humbled. My peers and probably some readers of this blog, voted for my BoF session to be included in Lotusphere this year. So to everyone who read my session abstracts and turned me down from within the yellow compound, let's discuss this over drinks for next year maybe?

    Cheers! I guess I have to go post on my blog now :-)

    Seems my post was slightly misinterpreted by some. I had tried to link to a guinesss site and got dropped, thanks IE7.

    But I was trying to say that maybe I have been out too long and new people are in and sometimes, when there are close suggestions, the person known is chosen over the one unknown.

    That's not a bad thing, just reality sometimes. It's not an accusation.

    So i figured if i can meet up with the judges I can plead my case towards next year. And at least maybe get to round 2 at least.

    But maybe I just need to submit a better description next time. :-)
