- Ed Brill: Twitter already covered the ActiveSync support in Lotus Traveler, but they are putting it in there. Looking to ship in 2009. License agreements were not available for comment. A public beta date is not set yet. They have to decide which active based devices will be supported. The session today that introduced it used the native mail application on the iPhone for example. Android testing has not been done yet.
- David Marshak: Sametime 8.5 is second half of year, enhancing the meeting server. It will be Websphere driven for the expanded meeting services. Meetings are persistent, so presentation materials may be stored. The new meeting services will be faster and richer with zero footprint, all Ajax and HTML. Java and JVM issues go away. Improved audio and video. Websphere versions will finally be the same across Sametime 8.5 meetings, Advanced and Gateway.
The new Sametime web client is also announced. Zero footprint with functionality the same as the client. Still no Skype due to their lack of integration.
- Caleb Barlow: Lotus Foundations news.. IBM branded appliance worldwide. The first announcement on Foundations is version 1.1 with suport for VM Hypervisor on top of Foundations. This will allow any image to run on the server. Single click deployment from an image you drop on the server.
The second announcement is Lotus Foundations Branch Office running Domino version 8.5. Basically a Domino server in the domain. News on running native Domino HTTP and also migrating in an existing domain is not sure yet.
Over to live demos from Xerox Corp for Foundations
