Why I've been quiet the last few days.
Category None
Well obviously there has been the usual preparations for Lotusphere, ensuring demos work, arranging customer meetings, figuring out which luncheons and dinners to go to, ensuring all existing customers are set for what may well be a week of very little contact and then to top it off I decided to do something crazy in my already packed scheduled and decided to build the website LotusphereLive (will be live soon), although I refer to it as a site, it's really more of a web application. The site was created so that people not attending Lotusphere will still be able to get a feel for the atmosphere and any announcements that are taking place during the General Opening Session.
The site has been built using 100% IBM Lotus Technologies, using the latest versions of IBM Lotus Domino and IBM Lotus Sametime, it provides can be considered I suppose is realtime blogging. The site was built in a few short days and came about through a comment made by Ken Bisconti in reply to a blog entry at vowe.net. Ken's question got me thinking how I could go about building such a site in the short time frame available. So I took what I knew and I ended up with LotusphereLive. Live blogging will be provided by a few well known gents in our community (we need more well know ladies!):
Bruce Elgort & Julian Robichaux - Taking Notes
Carl Tyler - Instant Technologies
Chris Miller - Connectria
Ed Brill - IBM
The hosting site should be ready tomorrow, so if the site isn't live by the end of the day tomorrow, it will definitely be live by the opening session

(unrealted, if Volker Weber reads this, I tried to post a comment with my real name and email address and blog address but the spam detection made a determination there was something wrong - not sure how to correct it.)
To all who inspired Carl's work "thank you"; to those who helped Carl, "Thank You"; and to Carl for doing the work "THANK YOU" !
