May 2006
In this Taking Notes podcast, Bruce and
Julian have a fantastic conversation with Adam Gartenberg -- IBM/Lotus
Offering Manager for Real-time and Team Collaboration -- regarding the
upcoming Sametime 7.5 client. We talked about far too many features and
details to list them all here in the show notes (you'll just have to listen
to the podcast ;-), but here are some of the topics we touched on:
- Why is Sametime 7.5 NOT "just another
chat client"?
- What are some of the reasons you'll
want to upgrade from older versions of Sametime?
- Discussion of the new role-based security
architecture
- The new Sametime plugin architecture,
some neat things you can do with it, and talk of a forthcoming online Sametime
Plugin Catalog
- Improvements in the Sametime Meeting
Center
- How will we need to upgrade? Clients
first? Servers first? All at once?
- Options available for telephony and
connectivity to other chat networks via the RTC Gateway
Adam
shared some great details with us, so make sure you listen to the whole
thing. Also, here are a few links related to what we discussed:
And of
course the OpenNTF update with John
Roling.

In Episode 21 Julian talks about his excellent
OpenNTF OpenLog
project. OpenLog provides
a common error and event logging framework for all of your IBM Lotus Notes
applications. Julian discusses how to set up OpenLog, how to configure
it, how to add OpenLog to your existing databases, how to configure notifications
and much more. No longer will you have to write to the Notes log file,
the console or to an agent log database.
OpenLog provides you with a single database to collect all of the errors
occurring in your code. We know (and hear) what you're saying so don't
even say that your code is perfect and has no errors - yeah right! Only
Bruce writes perfect code - NOT.

We're baaaack. ;-)
In this installment of the Taking Notes podcast, Bruce and Julian discuss
topics such as:
- New developments in Notes 7.0.2 as reported
on Ed
Brill's blog, including Notes
Nomad (the Notes client on a memory stick, formerly known as "Project
Wanda"), blog and RSS templates, and better Smart Upgrade. According
to the Notes
& Domino Insider Newsletter,
7.0.2 is scheduled for release in September, 2006.
- Are the successful user group meetings
becoming annual/quarterly mini-conferences instead of monthly meetings?
- The Hannover design team now has at
least one
blog (Mary Beth Raven) --
is IBM seeking input, or just doing marketing?
- Julian is in the market for a laptop,
and is wondering if the new Lenovo Thinkpads are as durable and sturdy
as the old IBM Thinkpads.
- Alan
Lepofsky has a great Notes
calendar tip.
And of course the
OpenNTF update with John
Roling.
