That C.U.L(DC).T. shirt
Sat, Jan 14th 2012 4:24p Julian Woodward So, I have now run out of my sort of #ls12 C.U.L.T. shirts. They’re all gone. You missed your chance. Lotusphere was a complete waste of time for you, because you didn’t manage to get hold of one of these. Seriously, they’re a rare as rocking horse shit, and as precious as a unicorn’s foreskin. Chinese “doctors” would grind them up and use them for medicine if they could get hold of them. You get the picture.
Whatever.
So, here’s the image. That’s [read] Keywords: lotusphere

Penumbra Groupie!
Sat, Jan 14th 2012 9:23a Julian Woodward I was ambushed at the Penumbra meeting this morning, and now find myself elected to the Penumbra board for the next couple of years.
Having been a member for the last 3 years, it will be interesting, and I suspect challenging in all sorts of fun ways, to fulfil this role along with my board colleagues Lisa Duke and Jamie Magee.
In the meantime, so far as this week goes, I’m looking forward to the Penumbra dinner tonight, and the (relatively recent tradition) ice-cream Tuesdae (sic) soci [read] Keywords: facebook

iPad travel tip
Thu, Jan 12th 2012 6:23a Julian Woodward Yesterday, I purchased a ‘Camera Connector Kit’ for the iPad, so that while at Lotusphere 2012 I can pull photos off the camera and immediately work with them on the iPad. All good fun.
One of the two connection options one gets with the CCK is a USB port, designed to allow the camera to be plugged in directly with needing to remove the SD card. So I thought to myself … what happens if I plug the USB half of my Plantronics wireless headset into that? Lo and behold, there was [read] Keywords: lotusphere

Lotusphere 2012 C.U.L.T. shirt. Sort of.
Tue, Jan 10th 2012 8:43a Julian Woodward As you are doubtless aware, if you are a Yellow Bubble type reader, there is no C.U.L.T. shirt for #ls12. (If you’re not a Yellow Bubble type reader, you may as well give up now because the rest of this will rightly be meaningless to you.)
For those less into the in-jokes, C.U.L.T. stands (stood) for “Certified Unofficial Lotusphere T-shirt”. They were great fun over the last 10+ years, and Rocky Oliver, Henry Newberry and Andrew Pollack are all owed a debt of gratitude by us m [read] Keywords: lotus

London Developer Co-op: At the turning of the year (or just after it)
Fri, Jan 6th 2012 10:23a Julian Woodward The wizards and sages at LDC have pooled collective wisdom (cough) and authored a pithy review of 2011 in advance of #ls12. Enjoy:
A week before IBM Lotusphere / Connect we realised this was by far our biggest conference yet, with 2 speakers, 3 sessions, 2 sponsored parties and bleeding t-shirts everywhere. So, what have we been up to during the last year?
Well, bucking the global slowdown for one thing, new clients now include one of the world’s largest media websites, another multi-national [read] Keywords: ibm

Blowing the cobwebs off this blog
Fri, Jan 6th 2012 3:02a Julian Woodward Yes, it’s that time of year, when my blogging mojo starts working for a little while once more. Coincidentally, it’s also Lotusphere time. Amazing.
Looking forward to boarding the plane to #ls12 in 7 days and a handful of hours. This year, in a radical departure, I’m staying in the Swan rather than the Dolphin. I know, I know, SO exciting. A greater departure from the norm is that I’ll be sharing a room with the wonderful Greg Eldred, so if you see him around please do bu [read] Keywords: lotusphere

The Good, the Bad, and the Wookie
Mon, Feb 7th 2011 11:23a Julian Woodward Although there weren’t many product announcements to speak of this year at #ls11, nonetheless it was a good Lotusphere. It was big, and had a buzz, not least because what we DID see this year was some key offerings (Connections, xpages) reach new levels of maturity. So …
The Good:
- Kevin Spacey: best choice of opening speaker since Neil Armstrong
- Irene Greif speaking in the Wednesday mini-keynote
- Eric Brown speaking at the closing session
- IBM grasping the nettle and downpl [read] Keywords: connections

Lotusphere 2011 Monday and Tuesday roundup
Wed, Feb 2nd 2011 6:40a Julian Woodward I’m not going to do a blow-by-blow account of every session I’ve been to. But…
Let’s start with the Opening General Session. This is the once-a-year-only opportunity for IBM to excite its most loyal customers and partners, who have invested a LOT of time and money to come to this event, to get them excited about the future, and to inspire them to achieve great things over the next 12 months.
This year IBM also had the opportunity to reach out to 500 college students and [read] Keywords: ibm

Lotusphere Sun day
Sun, Jan 30th 2011 3:07p Julian Woodward What a beautiful day here today. After the morning mist burnt off, it has been warm, sunny, and rather delightful.
Of course, I’ve had to spend most of it indoors, at a number of #ls11 sessions:
- BD Day Opening general session
It was, um, okay. In days of yore Lotus used to pre-announce some of the main OGS announcements to this audience. For the main part, this seems to have stopped, understandably in this age of twitchy twitter fingers. There are a few things coming up tomorrow, clearl [read] Keywords: connections

The day before the day before the first day
Sun, Jan 30th 2011 6:06a Julian Woodward Is Sunday now the first day of Lotusphere, or is it Monday because that’s when the OGS is?
Anyway, that aside, yesterday was pretty good.
Started with breakfast in ‘Fresh’, in the Dolphin hotel. Not a bad breakfast at all – if I can possibly drag myself out of bed in time to squeeze in some breakfast each day, I’ll be going there. That doesn’t include today, of course – am running late for the Business Partner OGS now
