Lotusphere 2006: And then suddenly it's all over...
It feels like waking up on New Years Day. I'm tired. Really tired. I blog this after the General Closing Session sitting alone in the lobby of the Dolphin with my laptop trying to get my head around the past couple of days, watching Lotusphere 2006 being packed into crates. It seems to intensify the feeling of emptyness.
It has been amazing. As a first time visitor, and Lotusphere being the first kind of these conferences I have attended, it has been overwhelming. So much new stuff, having met so many new people. Putting faces to blogs, talking to strangers at lunch sharing ideas and getting really energized by the commitment of IBM which really has come across. The distance from a developer from Denmark to Lotus has never been shorter.
Personally it has been nice meeting people I have only "met" via e-mail - none mentioned, none forgotten. Many very nice comments and interesting conversations. I even experienced a person coming up to me and thanking me for LotusScript.doc. Whow!
Thanks to you all and remember:
Yellow is the new black... ;-)
See you next year.
Lotusphere 2006: Not really enjoying the GURUpalooza!
The word of Sametime 7.5 and the AIM/Yahoo deals is spreading
My The VIEW article is of to the presses

Went to see if my editor at The VIEW (Ann Baker) was here at Lotusphere which she was so that was very nice to finally meet her in person. We have been exchanging e-mail for the last 6-7 months now so a face-to-face meeting was definately overdue. She was quite surprised to see how young I looked which is always nice to hear although I don't consider myself young looking anymore... :-) Ann told me that the next issue was in the presses which means it will be out to the subscribers soon. Very exciting. I really hope they picked up the changes I added at the last read-through. |
