Day 3 in review (part 1)
Tags :Conferences
This morning (yes this means waking before
7am to get there at 7) began with a BOF session (BOF512) for
Lotus User Group Communities. As we host LotusUserGroup.org
and I am on the advisory board, I forced myself to actually awaken at the
crazy early hours. I found that IBM does not have as much local participation
at each user group, nor can some of the people get any help. We all
know IBM cannot just give out email addresses of users in the area, but
some emails from the groups trying to begin could be helpful in starting
or growing the local user communities. We talked about bonding together
with other tours that come to town, using remote presentations from speakers
of conferences and even hooking up with other regional groups to tag along
with them until you get yours built.
BP106 - Worst Practices in IBM Lotus Domino was the first session out
of the gates for me. Wild Bill and Paul Mooney were the speakers
and started with the humor even before the session began. The room
filled quick and a lot. Let the live blogging begin.........
The laughs are continuous with these two and some very accurate issues
that many face. Their layout was making fun of the error, listing
the investigation and the jumping right into the listing of solutions for
the problem. Everyone identified with many of the problems and couldn't
believe some of the errors poeple make. The funniest was the section
on a large domain being rolled out, globally. They enabled public
key checking for security the evening before it rolls out. The next
morning no one can log in. The cause? Someone on the project
lost the certifier passwords halfway through and quietly replaced the cert
id hoping no one would notice. Need I say more? The session
was more than entertaining and everyone enjoyed themselves.
