ND7 Upgrade Seminar - Copenhagen Overview
Tags :Conferences
| First things first, I knew parking was tough downtown in Copenhagen, but they proved it today with this picture I grabbed. On to the overview. A very prompt group, a large group and an inquisitive group. The questions were direct and the information was absorbed well, even with my fast talking sometimes. One thing I always find interesting in doing the European shows is the uniqueness of everyone's environment. Very specific issues with very specific needs to be addressed. The attendees are excellent at drawing and explaining the issue. Even showing NSD files they brought along. So we have some take-a-way questions that need to be answered and I will be hitting the email or blogging them shortly. |
Only 2 people with R5 around, no 4.6 at all. Very few Domino 7 servers had been installed, that was the whole point of being there. I am not sure what to think when there is not too many test servers in 7 already, or when no one has made testing plans yet. Mainly in the smaller organizations. I think it is important to get a head start on new releases to see if there is even any immediate needs or benefits to upgrading. We try to give as many scenarios as possible.
License confusion around Sametime IMLU still existed but I tried to explain that plus the changes to DWA in 7 that exposes the users to Java Connect instead of the integrated chat client in the template.
Quite a few people were using LEI, a surprise from the other sites we have done this seminar entirely.
DDM was a huge topic that garnered lots of comments that wished that topic to be even longer. I am glad to see that as I think it will be an integral part of many environments in the near future. Will some future enhancements by IBM, plus some folding of functionality from Intelliwatch possibly, it could make a decently mean monitoring tool for Domino. I think saying more on my personal thoughts on DDM can wait.
Dinner tonight was a scary Chinese food place, that turned out to be nice but not the best selection as I would hope. No reason to mention names then. After that, some relaxation with the View staff and I am calling it quits.
