I ran across this by accident (another blog post) and it is an interview with Andy Stanford-Clark, IBM Master Inventor. A huge position but humorously he took his home automation software, based on MQ Series, and has it Twitter.

A user had a small partition set for their operating system and never loaded and programs there. After cleaning up tons of temp files they wondered where some of the space was still being used and they found an interesting site. As you attend more and more meeting servers it is not reusing the same jar files, but instead downloading them over and over. Nice

Interesting twist. At Lotusphere (a time when we became able to talk about it it seems), they were busy showing off a slew of collaboration tools on the Innovations Lab. Beehive was one of those tools. Another collaboration/social networking/put your data here site for the enterprise.
Well Oracle announced Beehive, their collaboration offering also. It includes:

The end humor is there is even an IBM Apache project called Beehive

While over at Collaboration University in London, we watched as new signs were being placed prominently on the wall. It was not clear what it was for. Then we started seeing some interesting videos pop up on all the display screens they had. Soon it all became clear.
Stop talking and start doing. Got that? No, neither did I. So go see the online demos here and figure it out

In case some of you don't follow my Twitter stream, where I post most everything short during the day, there is a new Twitter tool I plan on using during Lotusphere.
LiveTwitting allows you to set streams by session at a conference. You can even hide them from your public stream. Almost like taking notes in real time as well as providing that data to others. If I am successful in getting a session at Lotusphere, I would hope people in the audience do the same.
Take a look at the entry on EverythingTwitter to get more info on how it works. We will probably talk about this some more as we get closer to Lotusphere.

After spending these past two weeks doing a third Collaboration University, one thing became apparent. The disparity between all the collaboration products system requirements. Let us look first
So the way this is designed, I cannot share any infrastructure across the products. I am destined to install numerous systems. While I could install Advanced and Connections on the same WAS version, the system requirements for Connections eliminates that while idea. I could then share DB2 across the Gateway and Advanced, but not the same WAS set. This is until one of them gets an upgrade and totally changes the game once again. So plan on at least 4 servers to install the above, but with clustering and scaling for thousands (tens of thousands sometimes) you suddenly jump into the more than 20 range immediately.
You can find and cross verify the requirements under the following technotes
| Sametime Gateway 8.0.1 | Sametime Advanced 8.0.1 | Lotus Connections 2.0 | |
| Websphere Application Server | WAS 6.1.0.11 | WAS 6.1.0.13 | WAS 6.1.0.13 |
| DB2 | DB2 9.1 | DB2 9.1 | DB2 9.1 FP4 |

Live in London I sit with Rob Novak and Julian Robichaux of Snapps, Gabriella Davis of Turtle Partnership and gunfire to hear all about some Quickr news, product releases and commentary on attendees feedback and input from Collaboration University.
I almost forgot to mention that if needed, you can download the 24:12 podcast in it's 23 or so MB glory from right here.

The powers that be have done an excellent job at enhancing the previous "Hands-on Lab" track. It is now reads as follows:
So here is the poll, do you think that people would expect to not only work on these sandboxes in the lab area at Lotusphere, but to also have access to download and play with these sandbox session when they get home?
Audience: Developers and administrators of all levels
Due to the enormous popularity of the Lotusphere Hands-on track, we've reworked it to expand the audience far beyond what we were able to accommodate in previous years. The new Show 'n Tell track is designed to bring you classroom-style technical presentations, complemented by a hands-on sandbox where you can run through the exercises after the session at your own pace using virtual machine environments supplied by the presenters. Simply put, the Show 'n Tell track will be a fast track to your education on a single topic. From start to finish, with picture by picture screenshots that you can take home with you and use to set up your own environment. All sessions will adopt a teaching approach with heavy emphasis on documentation and the supporting hands-on labs
So here is the poll, do you think that people would expect to not only work on these sandboxes in the lab area at Lotusphere, but to also have access to download and play with these sandbox session when they get home?

With the largest attendance in 3 years, we kicked off right on time this morning. There are over 1 million Sametime users represented and over 14 countries between attendees here and London. Amazing. So what I have presented so far...
Sametime Advanced Install - wake up call for the resources to some, but everyone had great questions and comments. Hopefully everyone got enough in the hour to install it via applianceware or as a whole when they get home. The prerequisite installer really helps demo systems.
Lotus Connections Install with Mitch Cohen driving the train. Many of the people in the full room had not really seen Lotus Connections and really needed a crash course. While we did a demo session earlier, many were at other sessions.

Even though for a couple years I was never, ever here and always on the road, this is smack in the middle of the US. Everything is just a few hour flight. That part is nice. No beach/ocean/coast isn't the best. But with the travel I make up for it.
Looking to find me in person? Here is where I am and will be.
