I am working on a new site, so between work, this site, writting for Search400 (which I hope they change the name of soon) and family, I have also found little time to start building a new site that will in the end be a hub for all things POWER based. I have to bring the community together under one web site.
So with that said, I am going to need people to provide content for the site. I need really dedicated insane people to help build the community from all parts of this equation. IBM i, AIX, Linux on Power, and POWER hardware. We need to come together in a big way and share. I am also going to cover Lotus, Ubuntu, OpenSolaris, OpenSuSE, FreeBSD and other things that interest me that I think are changing the way IT does IT.
Please send me an email and I will get you in on the fun, and if you know Joomla that would be great too…I am no expert on that CMS kit.

Ed Brill is the mouth piece for Lotus and at the latest Admin2008 had a session that explains what to do if some lose cannon in your company wants to move away from Lotus instead of using it to it’s full potential.

Let me give you my two cents about why Lotu is a better choice, they seem to understand collaborative technology way better than Microsoft ever will. Lotus out of the box will allow you to do mail, that is easy but they also allow you to build applications and collaborate.
Most companies fail Lotus and don’t do anything with it but mail. There is also one other problem IBM and Lotus have, they don’t have anyone printing books about how to use Lotus Notes, How to be a Lotus Admin and how to develop real Domino applications for Lotus Notes and the Web.

AS/400,
System i,
Domino on System i,
COMMON - A users group
You asked to go to COMMON in Dec and your manager said, well see. Then you asked again in Feb and he said something about a budget problem, of course you hand not heard anything? The you asked last week and they now want a justification. Well if your managers are that thick then you will need some ammo.
I could tear into a rant about managers that don’t get COMMON or Lotusphere for that matter but I will hold off. You managers know who you are and if you can’t point them out in a room of all the other employees then the dim wit is you. Bingo!
So you need a plan to give you half witted manager that keeps asking you what the System i is for, duh. Here is what COMMON says are the good reasons to attend.
The conference will offer well over 500 educational sessions, hands-on labs, and all-day workshops. We’ve have tracks on hot topics like PHP, open source, and IP Telephony; all delivered by the most respected presenters of the IT industry. Hear a new speaker in the morning, attend a user experience session in the afternoon, and network with the experts in the evening. Quite simply, this is where the rubber hits the road of i5/OS education.
COMMON in Nashville will be just as large as our recent conferences; we’ve organized our education logically so it’s easy to select what will benefit you most. All sessions at the conference are grouped into broad topic categories called Courses of Study. Each Course of Study covers a specific area, such as RPG IV, and may also include Focused Education Roadmaps. Focused Education Roadmaps are pre-selected sets of sessions that form a learning path to help you master a particular subject.
COMMON in Nashville will be just as large as our recent conferences; we’ve organized our education logically so it’s easy to select what will benefit you most. All of the COMMON sessions are organized into Courses of Study (COS). Each COS covers a specific area such as DB2 UDB with clearly defined descriptions. Many COSs include distinct subsets of sessions, called Focused Education Roadmaps, intended to guide you through a specific skill path. Each Focused Education Roadmap includes a set of 6-12 sessions that provide definite educational goals and business objectives.
With that said now you need to build an email to help you win your battle with dummy in the office with the little water fall on his desk. You know the one that while in meetings spits on your notes. I have given you all the ammo you need, I hope. Now get your rear end to COMMON and when you do, make sure you grab me as say hello. I look forward to hearing more about the dude you have to work for.

Lotusphere is next week, and while this is the System i blog, and I know Lotus is not a System i only application it’s still pretty relevant. The System i and Lotus Domino are just great together. Like Chocolate & Peanut Butter . . . If you into that kind of thing.
Lets get started. This will be my first time making any kind of prediction on this blog so lets get started.
- Lotus Notes will get an installer in .DEB format for Ubuntu (50% Sure)
- The iPhone will get some attention from Lotus (90% Sure)
- Lotus Notes/Domino 8.0.1 will be released. (100% Sure)
- Lotus Notes for Mac will arrive (80% Sure)
- Lotus Domino will now run on Ubuntu and be supported (Pipe Dream -10% Sure)
- Lotus Domino will not run on MacOSX Server (Pipe Dream - 1% Sure)
- Lotus renames all of it products just to mix it up a bit (Funny - 99% Sure)
- Lotus drops the Domino Designer Tool and pushes Eclipse (50% Sure)
- Lotus spins back off into it’s own company ( 1% sure)
- Lotus re-releases Lotus Office Suite for Free and it works great (50% sure)
So there they are. Some are funny and others a bit of me dreaming. I am going to see maybe 3 -4 come true the rest we can all think about for the rest for the year.
