Sametime 8.5 is a very different beast to earlier version

Category
Almost a year ago to the day, I bloggged that Domino customers should start to learn Websphere.  I blogged quite a while back to start learning about Websphere and DB2 as Sametime 8.5 is going to be a very different beast to the Sametime you're running today.  

I can't go into more detail on my blog yet about 8.5 and the differences because of the None Disclosure Agreement (NDA) I have signed with IBM, but we do have permission to talk and educate folks about Sametime 8.5 at Collaboration University.

So if you haven't yet learnt Websphere, have been a pure Domino/Sametime/Quickr shop and want to get up to speed on what you need to know quickly then Collaboration University 2009 is the place to be.

The speakers are finalised, and our sessions have been published, for Sametime folks, we have a great selection:

Sametime:
* Customizing and Extending the Sametime 8.5 Meeting Center
* Customizing and Extending the Sametime 8.0 Meeting Center
* Using and Customizing the Sametime 8.5 Web Client with the new Proxy Server
* Sametime 8 and 8.5 Toolkit Overview, Differences, and Examples
* Sametime Telephony Overview - TCSPI, Plugin and Unified Telephony options
* Deploying Sametime 8 on Linux - Getting to the Root of the Install
* Sametime 8.5 Infrastructure - How all the Pieces Fit Together
* New ST Client features and New "zero download' client; Working with the new Sametime Proxy
* Installing and working with Sametime Community server 8.5
* Installing and working with the new Meeting server
* Websphere Administration for Sametime
* Managing your Infrastructure with the Sametime Solutions Console - Installation and Use

For many people, this will be the first time they have had the opportunity to see up close many of the changes in Sametime 8.5

As usual, the CU staff will be very honest with what we know, that includes the good the bad and the ugly, so you can go back to your own companies and not have to waste time finding out a feature doesn't work as advertised, or doesn't install as documented etc.  We pass our experience on to you, so you don't have to suffer the late nights and lost weekends we did.
