I’m down in Orlando at my very first Lotusphere and am really looking forward to the week ahead.
The opening session was quite interesting, there was a speech given by Neil Armstrong talking about the history behind NASA and the race to the moon.
Lotus highlights were pretty exciting as well. The unveiled an online version of the conference which is going to be held in a virtual environment within Second Life. They will be broadcasting the opening session among others through this virtual conference. Also they gave a nice demonstration of the new Lotus Quickr (Pretty lame rip off of Flickr if I do say so myself 
). They made sure to hit on the point that the personal version was free with Sametime, and the standard version free with Quickplace. They showed the web interface along with its integration with Sametime/Notes 8/Office. I’m not sure if its included with the product or requires an add-on but they showed a really nice integrated document management system. The demo included creating a new email, opening the Quickr side-bar in Notes 8, then dragging a file into an email and sending it. A nifty little pop up prompted the user to see if they really wanted to send a copy of the file or just a link to it within the document management system… With the amount of files bouncing around at work I would really love to see this integration happen!
A few other cool demos were shown integrating various products, though they seemed to spend a lot of time showing off new Websphere stuff that I’ll probably never see….
Lotus Connector Connections was also announced which is their answer to bringing social sites into the corporate environment. They didn’t explain it all that well and I’m not really sure if its an additional product you need to purchase or if it’s included with others like Quickr.
- Heavily moderated, SPAM will be dealt with.
As I noted over on my blog, the product is called Lotus Connections (not Connector). Ed Brill notes that we haven’t announced packaging etc. yet.
