Topics
Looking back at Lotusphere 2011
* Overall reflections on the conference, how did it rate?
* Branding change (Lotus possibly being deprecated) – lots of posts on the topic:
* Ed Brill – Lotusphere 2011: 100 percent IBM and loving it
* Alan Lepofsky – Lotus Is Finally A Key Part Of IBM
* Vowe – Are we feeling all excited yet?
* Stuart – Lotus is dead. Long live IBM.
* Will this cause confusion in the marketplace? Customers feel Lotus is dead etc?
* Jon, as a IBM sales guy and former Websphere dude, does it matter? How about from an IBM sales perspective, do you ‘lead blue’?
* How will you explain the messages of Lotusphere to your customer base and sales teams?
‘Social Business’- ‘Get Social. Do Business’as a theme
* Did attendees/customers/press get this? Is there a sense that IBM is leading the field (and the conversation) now?
* Kathy Brown – Lotusphere 2011 – Anti-Social?
* What does this mean for traditional Lotus partners? Will this lead to a new tier of business partners that can lead the Social Business message?
Looking forward:
* Did you get a sense for what’s coming in the ‘Next’versions of the product? Is this Project Vulcan being realised?
* Will Activity Streams become ubiquitous?
* Is the future all web based? Will there be a place for desktop apps still? How about native mobile apps?
* What will LotusLive Symphony bring us? Is it a big threat to Google Apps? Was pricing discussed?
* LotusLive Symphony first look
* Will this be IBM moving into a Fremium model?
* Will it be available on-premise?
Success of XPages book – Mastering XPages
* Ed Brill – ‘Well, they sold out at Lotusphere. First time ever, from what I heard. More than any other IBM Press book at an IBM conference. None of this surprises me, because learning XPages is the single most-important activity you can undertake if you want to be on top of the game in building Domino applications.’
* Still a real appetite for Lotus books and hard copy publications – Lotus Redbooks?
Social Business Jam
* Have you partaken?
Domino Express Changes
* All limitations besides customer size to be removed in 8.5.3
