Day 4 in review (part 2) live blogging at closing..


Tags :


Surjit Chandra opened with thanks to all customers, partners and even Sandra Marcus for putting on, once again, an amazing show all week. He continued on with 3 main points....

  1. Commitment - "Yellow is the new Black" was a giant quote put on the wall on the closing screens.  Lotus is committed to Notes, Domino, Sametime and everything else.  But then tossing in new openness.  96% of all the sessions were delivered using the Workplace Managed Client and Open Document Format
  2. Attitude - He put bloggers on the screen (screencaps), showing the commitments.  He replayed his FUD comment of not putting up with anymore bulls**t (there was even horns in the replay) from the opening session.  he is declaring the Gloves are off.   Lotusphere for next year has been announced Jan 21-25, 2007 at the same place, same location.
  3. Crap I missed something....


The special treat was...... Jim Gaffigin (from Letterman, Conan, etc and I am not sure of the spelling here.  looking..)  He was decent enough.  People laughed and quite a few in the back left.  I am sure his stab about watching pr0n at home with Surjit will guarantee he won't be returning.  Now he finally got off of food topics after about 30 minutes and got much funnier.  Remember, this is all my opinion.
