Emergence - my guess of what it means before Lotusphere starts
Tags :Lotusphere Lotusphere2008
The theme of this year of Lotusphere2008 is Emergence. So here is what I think of that term before Lotusphere2008. All this came about after a pleasant dinner with Penumbra (big thanks to them for an excellent event).
Lotus will combine the announcements of new products (say Notes and iPhone for example) and the growth of existing products in ways not yet imagined as we prepare to leave Web 2.0 and enter (gasp) Web 3.0 land. If Lotus plans to stay ahead in the enterprise space, it has to reach deeper into it's development efforts and theory practice to start fighting for what enterprises need in the future. Keeping up with what enterprises need today is not fast enough.
Lotus will emerge with some amazing announcements come Monday, but the real gems will be hidden away in the labs and halls of Lotusphere. It is where demo-ware vanishes and real test code can be put in your hands to see and play with. Find those gems. Get into the labs and don't be afraid to talk to anybody that passes. They might hold one of those magic EMERGENCE gems in their heads, or even backback.
