IdoNotes (and sleep)

Excuse me while I sleep.....

I had quite the honor of presenting a couple well attended sessions but had NO idea the impact my LDAP session made.  It became very clear though by the time I reached our pedestal on the vendor floor about 45 minutes after I was done answering questions.  Since that time I have had people:

• simply grab me in the halls complimenting me on the session
• yelling for me to stop for a second to discuss an LDAP issue
• come by our pedestal, leave cards and return a few times to track me down.  Now this shows some serious interest and I have had some great talks with people on what they are doing and their needs.  This includes a wonderful lady from Germany that took the time to work with me on drawing it out so I could give her my insight and opinion.  The vendor floor was quite loud and she was bringing in my session on Workplace Messaging also since they will be using a centralized LDAP and an existing Domino environment.  And this is one darn large organization.  I saw her name badge and was stunned to see her talking to me about this.
• had a gentleman find me in my one trip through the Lotus Stuff Store, he kindly went to wait at our pedestal so I could finish some quick shopping
• had a gentleman yell loudly last night while at Universal Studios that is was one hell of a session, didn't sugar-coat or pull punches.  This of course was while he was two feet away and holding two beers, lol
• and finally, a phone call to my room to set a time to talk with him and his team for a few minutes.  I have no idea how big this team is, but after I finish sleeping soundly (from being out way too late again for the 5th night in a row) I will be right there since I don't have a session to get to for a bit
