It’s been an exciting week, particularly the last 2 days.

Lotusphere Comes To You Israel was held today at IBM Israel, with over 75 customers, business partners, analysts and social software advocates, wanting to hear more about IBM’s strategy and direction on enterprise collaboration and social software. Our agenda was pretty packed, and slightly delayed, but overall it was a great event.

I have many things to say about these past 2 days, but right now I just want to ‘sign out’ and relax. A more detailed post will be published soon.

Israel from Blink live-blogged (sort of 😉 from the event, so you can read his impressions to get a feel on what we talked about. Thanks Israel !

The presentations from the event will be posted on the event website next week.

Happy Purim !

Lotus Enterprise Collaboration and Social Software Event (a.k.a LCTY Israel) is a day away, and today we (Alan Lepofsky, Jason Risley and Arjan Radder) are visiting IBM Haifa Research Labs, hearing what’s in store for social software and collaboration tools. Our agenda here is packed with presentations and we’re behind by 20min so far – too many questions…

Tomorrow we’re gonna talk about how you can start implementing social software tools specifically developed for enterprises, and today we’re hearing about the future: social networking, software, web 2.0 aggregated search, people search, WS Portal search, visualization, plugins, widgets, Quickr ‘Next’, Connections ‘Next’ – very exciting stuff! I can’t elaborate obviously, and trying to put what I’m seeing into words is not easy as well…

The people at IBM Research are working on some innovative projects, and I’m very excited to see the outcome of some of these projects.. I think you’ll be interested as well… 😉

IBM Purim Party

We have a triple reason for partying this week:
1. Purim is here.. on Friday the 21st
2. LCTY Israel is here… Thursday the 20th
3. St. Patrick’s Day is here.. TODAY

IBM Israel was kind enough to throw a hugh party last night, at Tel Aviv Old Harbor, for IBMers and their spouses.. My spouse had a trip from work, so I was ‘forced’ to take Alan Lepofsky. I also invited a friend from college, so we’ll have beauty in our community… 😉
The party started off with great food and beer, as the DJ was responsible for making the noise – and it was superb !! There was also a live orchestra, playing with the music, with made it much more cool… and I met two good friends, who used to work for IBM, so it really was a great party..
Since it was a Purim party, I decided to put my best custom on – as you can see in the picture..

Here’s a video from the party (mind the loud noise):

This party was a great opening to the week, and LCTY Israel on Thu will close it just right.
We’re already at +100 participants, and seating is (very) limited. Register today!

Bloggers/Laptop owners: ask for your free Wi-Fi access at the registration desk Thursday morning.

Free for social networking next Thursday ?

Alan Lepofsky, Lotus Strategy, SWG – coming all the way from Boston;
Jason Risley, WebSphere Portal Sales Manager for South-West Europe – traveling from Madrid;

We have a full agenda, with business partners showcase, excellent speakers and live demos – but seating is limited… hurry to register. There are couple of ways to do that:

So, what are you doing next Thursday ?

My friend Alan Lepofsky, who’ll be keynoting our Lotus Collaboration Event on March 20th, wrote an excellent post on ‘The Cure for Fear of Commitment‘. Ed Brill also mentioned Alan’s post. Alan posted this in response to a customer’s CIO asking how committed IBM/Lotus is to Notes/Domino family. Instead of sending an email, he posted his thoughts and hard proof on his blog, for all to see and use. Highlights from Alan’s post:

At Lotusphere 2008, IBM announced:

and

roadmaps*:

  • Calendar enhancements including better iCal support and Group calendaring.
  • The future Domino Designer running in Eclipse. This will provide developers the modern UI they have been asking for, a ton of new features, including the new XPages design element.
  • A new “Web 2.0” makeover for Domino HTTP applications.
  • For the Domino server, simplifying Notes Identity management and authentication, options to replace Domino Directory with alternative LDAP directories, optimize and reduce attachment storage, further reduce I/O bandwidth, improved quality of service with the Domino Configuration Tuner (DCT), and Dynamic Group Policies.

* All future plans are subject to change!

Head over to Alan’s blog to read the full post.

Alan – see you in Israel next week 🙂
