the opening general session of lotusphere was not hugely impressive. i have
come along in the hope that i will be surprised and find that domino has been
given a new lease of life. but when a large portion of a lotus conference is
devoted to the other three ibm streams (tivoli, websphere and db2) you know
things are bad.
to be honest i knew this already but domino has been a major part of my life
for the last 5 years and i would rather it continues to be. instead we were
shown the “next-gen” mail client. jeannette “no charisma” horan was expecting a
round of applause for being able to send an e-mail using websphere and db2…
hardly ground-breaking stuff.
on the other hand, rudy giuliani was indeed the keynote speaker and he got two
standing ovations! i will be concentrating the rest of my efforts on websphere.
the end of an era really.
