reasons!!!
Monday, January 24
I started after the Opening General Session going to ID113 for Lotus Directory
Technologies: Planning, Deployment, Best Practices. This session
was quite well attended and gave some excellent information about the future
and some good above basic information. I went to find out more about
what people were looking for in Directory Services before my session.
Next on the list was BOF307 for Integrating Workplace, Portal with Lotus
LDAP. I was not really pleased with this BOF for some reason as there
was not much interaction. A weird idea of using LEI to sync directories,
which we find out the next day that IBM uses internally. Much cheaper
than the Tivoli Integrator and it works! Something to look into and
test for some of our mail migration and consolidation work.
I jumped in and out of various sessions the rest of the day until the last
evening slot. I hit two more BOF's before heading to the Welcome
Reception on the vendor floor. Then we headed to the Lotus Awards
dinner before settling in Kimonos for more sushi, drinks and tons of people
singing.

This was an early morning at 7am with BOF305 for Domino Administration
- Meet the Developers. Normally in previous years this BOF was always
filled to capacity and closed. But it showed as a repeating session
so I was shocked (as well as the panel by the look on Art's face) that
not many people were there. I somehow survived through that early
morning.
I stopped in the Innovators Panel but for business reasons I instead saw
ID201 on the new Lotus Web Conferencing Service. I will have an entirely
separate posting on my thoughts on this offering. Entirely separate
posting.
ID308 ran me to the interoperability of Domino and Workplace because I
imagined it would have some concerns on LDAP which I wanted to hear for
my session. I got some info in there.
Now ID505 for Single Sign-On in a Multi-directory World was an excellent
session to me. Great technical info and covered lots of ground for
a short time. A couple topics could have been sessions on there own
for the true geeks
Sorry I have to stop here to go to Gurupalooza. I will add the rest
later.
