I know our fellow blogger Marie Scott has talked about her recent woes going on at VCU. We have even now seen a recent press release stating how all 32,000 students have been moved to Google mail, with 6GB quotas, instant messaging and calendaring over the week of Sep 7th.
Now in saying that, the article mentioned a migration tool. I went poking around and sure enough, there is a webpage and PDF file on the migration tool. I found it interesting what they say they support:
The application runs as a Notes database on the Domino server and controls are done from there, any version 6.0.2 and later.
So what does this all mean? Google is taking a direct attack mode at moving users from Notes before you can get them upgraded to the newest versions. They offer space in the cloud with larger quotas, apps and gears. It makes a strong argument if they can find a way to provide directory services on top of that for integration into the other Lotus products. With this missing, there is a huge hole in their plan and integration. I do know using the Sametime Gateway they could easily work instant messaging in and use smarthost routing for mail flow.
Who has comments on the tool and idea of their march down towards Lotus?
The launch of myVCUmail has now come and gone, and VCU Technology Services has converted more than 32,000 students' Lotus Notes e-mail accounts to new Gmail accounts.
During the week of Sept. 7, existing students were transferred into what Technology Services has dubbed "myVCUmail." Those new to VCU had their accounts set up over the summer.
Now in saying that, the article mentioned a migration tool. I went poking around and sure enough, there is a webpage and PDF file on the migration tool. I found it interesting what they say they support:
- Unread/Read marks will be migrated
- Folders and flags will be migrated
- Calendars including repeating appointments are migrated
- Free/busytime integration during the migration
- Automatic sending of notifications
- Migrating encrypted mailboxes (which means sending the user a message to unencrypt)
- Moving multiple users at once (maximum 10)
The application runs as a Notes database on the Domino server and controls are done from there, any version 6.0.2 and later.

I built the LotusKnows aggregator when the big IdeaJam was launched. Now, I expanded the searches and added some new data feeds so you can have one portal interface into seeing and keeping up with all the LotusKnows announcements and news. The aggregator includes:
I will be adding more sources as you suggest them or they become available. I wish the video submissions had a feed (hint Lotus) where we could pull and see those, but it seems thye have blocked us from seeing submissions or voting.
- Google term searches
- FriendFeed - this is realtime and updates dynamically
- Blog search
- Delicious

Collaboration University
Due to requests, we are once again streaming the keynote for the next stop of Collaboration University. We thank all of you that watched the keynote for the Chicago session last week (which you can still replay at any time). This time we have Darren Adams of IBM providing his own insight.

We (read this is Viktor, Novak and more) are finding this easier to keep up with each other and quickly view locations of friends while out and about in London instead of tweets or figuring it out ourselves which isn't always accurate. As always you can also find me on Birghtkite.
You have to specifically enable/disable this badge off of the Google Latitude page. You have choices to show the roads, terrain, satellite and hybrid modes. Of course, height and width can be adjusted at will. So this is what the badge looks like at the detail level.

I had some early sneak peeks at MyBlackBerry, but now it is fully public and ready to go. What you will see is:
That about sums it up. I had thought we would see all sorts of social integration and tighter integration of the AppWorld, highlighting many of the free apps that are available. They had the ability to bring both of these together and make a much larger community. Even using authentication from other systems would not have hurt, like Facebook Connect, oAuth for Twitter or OpenID.
Currently, the BlackBerry community is very heavily defined between business and casual users. Business users don't always get to load and play with the best applications, with security policies and software load controls in place. Casual users load every application they can and use the phone for more SMS and leisure activities. Showing the benefit of both sides would help move users across as well as grow the fight against the every imposing, non-business iPhone in the workplace. (We are still yet to see policy management for iPhones).
They do have a BlackBerry application for MyBlackBerry that you can fins in AppWorld. But, alas it is the same thing. Imagine if they had simply allowed BlackBerry Messenger integration where you could share your online status or even PIN (if you so desired) to make a chat community around the secure Messenger service.
The tips section was some very simple articles but there seems to be a Tips forum that is where the good stuff really is. They need to find a way to bring these two together and make full articles from them. The highlighted tips were light and not in volume. The questions people were asking and answering had some good ones in there.
Lastly, I noticed one thing missing. There was no device specific way to filter applications or topics.
- a 1990's discussion board
- some applications
- some basic tips with rating stars
- a horrific tag cloud

Yes this is a blatant theft of the outline that Jess uses on her page, but I asked permission. Why?? Because I am a hardcore admin and can make ugly tables to make you developers frustrated, but this was too nice to pass up.

Non-stop. At my desk, in my car, walking to work and back to my car downtown. In the house there is a crazy zoned set-up for you home automation geeks.
I am a self-proclaimed MP3 fiend, to which I have tried rehab 4 billion times to no avail. Next is the MP3 hard-drive for the car that I found. Now what kind of music you ask? I will never tell.

Character Bio:
This will take far more time than I have today. I will start with I was born and still live in St. Louis, MO. 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.
