Lotusphere 2008 Opening General Session

Michael Smelser  |    |  Tags:  lotusphere2008 lotusphere lotus911  |  Comments (0)
The session started out like always.  We  entered the room that the house lights were down and the "Rock Star" element was in place.  The band was playing and the canned lights were flaring all over the room.  When the session started we were entertained by the Orlando Symphony Orchestra and then Mike Rhodin took the stage to speak about this years theme for Lotusphere, "Emergence" Mike then introduce this years speaker, Bob Costas, who was greated by a smattering of applause.  Mike Rhodin then took the stage again to announce the newest business ventures. Among those were upcoming projects with RIM and project "Atlantic" with SAP.


Next, future plans were announced and demoed for Notes/Domino 8.5, Symphony, Sametime, Portal and Quickr. Then Mike Rhodin announced the launching of Lotus Mashups and Lotus Foundations which will be combined with a new project "bluehose" that will be directed toward the small businesses using Lotus Notes and Domino.


For an in-depth briefing of the goings on, take a look at the entry written by Scott Hooks on his blog, Off The Hook, were he blogged as these items were discussed in the OGS.
