Lotusphere has started
Tags: LS10 Lotusphere
The first day of Lotusphere 2010 is nearly over. In the previous years I attended some jumpstarts and some Busines Development Day sessions, but this year I decided to go all BDD. As it turned out this was no bad decision at all. I have learned a lot about what IBM is planning in the go-to-market area and what I learned seems very promising. We (the business partners) have been complaining for a very long time that IBM marketing and sales should talk more to business users to make them understand what the solutions are and which business value they are providing and this is what seems to be coming. Way to go, IBM!
The Lotus Knows campain has been received very well among the business partners and raised a lot of public awareness which is a really good thing. I am looking forward to seeing Lotus Knows ads in more countries, not just in the US. We hope to spread the word in our Lotusphere Comes To You events.
The mood here is certainly right and everyone is looking forward to the Opening General Session tomorrow, where we will hopefully see some great announcements.

DAOS: Transparent, transparent, transparent - and easy!
Tags: Domino DAOS Lotusphere
Here at Lotusphere are a many sessions about the new Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS). I didn't had that much time before Lotusphere to check it out but there were some sessions about it on my schedule.
And after hearing and reading something about it, I decided during a session to activate it on one of our small Domino servers. And because this feature is so powerful and at the same time so easy to implement, I also decided to share some informations about it.
At first the question when thinking about new features is, what they will do for you? Will they be worth the time you need to implement them? For DAOS you can test this with the new DAOS Estimator Tool you can download from IBM's website. This tool analyzes your data files and you can directly see what improvments DAOS will bring for you. In my case my total disk space savings are 18% and my Domino Data Directory shrinks 64%. That is huge, I think.
And the best is, that implementation isn't really complicated. IBM provides a Quick Start Guide in the Lotus Wiki.
And to come back to the headline, the good thing about DAOS is that it's cmpletley transparent. You just won't recognize while your daily work, if DAOS is activated or not.
So, have a look and give it a try!

Lotus Notes V1 Download Now Working (updated)
Tags: Lotusphere
As Ed Brill wrote IBM made downloads of the original Notes versions available on occasion of Notes' 15th birthday. The first posting of the Notes V1 package was broken and the downloads have officially been removed by February 4th. Since Ed promised to put up a working version I just checked the trials&betas download page again today and I found that they finally posted a working Notes V1 download package. The file name has changed from the previous (not working) version and the size is now about 5MB.

This year's Lotusphere has once again been well worth visiting. More than last year "the direction is clear" as Ambuj Goyal stated.
