off the Hook

I've just completed a week at Lotus "Top Gun" training, which is targeted at  updating the IBM sales team and Business Partners on the latest innovations in the Lotus portfolio and strategic direction, including solutions such as Notes/Domino 8.0, the Sametime product family; Quickr 8.0; Lotus Connections; the Portal offerings, including Web Content Management & e-Forms; Lotus Symphony; the Mobile & Enterprise Access offerings; Dashboards, and more. It's amazing how much has changed since Lotusphere just a few months ago. Lotus has delivered significant updates to each of these products and I got to see under the hood of what is coming in the next few months.

Along those lines, Lotus 911 has conducted some Lotusphere Comes To You (LCTY) events in a few cities, but I'd like to offer a "LCTY, NO REALLY" event to those who may be interested. Essentially, my idea is to set aside a full-day (less if you prefer) to come visit you at YOUR location and share these updates, do live demos, and perhaps even help you break through some admin and/or development barriers you may have. I will be in the central Florida area the second half of this week and in Chicago next week, but I'm pretty open the weeks after. Drop me a line if this sounds like something that appeals to you.
