Doug Spencer is on my team and is one of the demo gurus in the Lotus team. He's just posted a great video that explains what Lotus Foundations is about, then demonstrates the installation, setup, and deployment of a Foundations box.. The ten-minute video speeds up the boring parts of the install....but shows that the full start-to-finish process takes less than an hour:

Give Doug a raise. If we get more videos like this it helps demonstrate the capability of the products.
I think it would be helpful to a lot of people, for a variety of reasons to have a posting on HOW Doug made the movie. (e.g. the process, the software, the hardware, etc.)
Nice job.

Now I wish we had have taped our Domino 7 Install, Configuration, Migration from Exchange and upgrade to 8.5 that we did LIVE in 30 minutes during the "ISW Lotus Deep Dive" following LCTY in Sydney.
<grin>
That was a great Lotus demo too...

oh great. As if the job market weren't tight enough. This is one less reason a company will need my professional skills. I can hear it now: "Why do we need an IT department? We have Lotus Foundations!"
-Bah humbug
(Can I get a home version?)

Great presentation, interesting product. Big marketing hit, "Autonomic Computing" in action. Self-managing and -configuration might be creditable, but how about 'self-healing'? I doubt, that this box offers new concepts.

Where was this video shot? It looks like the bridge of the Enterprise.


Windows clients only. Boo, hiss.
