Write it on a Rock

What is the proper etiquette for voting? Do I only promote if I would attend the session or do I also promote if I think it's a good idea even though I wouldn't attend? Do I demote if I have no intention of going or only demote if I think it's a terrible idea for a session? I know there's "no opinion" but that's like not voting, isn't it?

How should I go about voting?

First I upgraded the Domino server to 8.0.2 and didn't have any issues there. Next upgraded the BES server. It was a very painless process other then it took some time. Since the upgrade I've been able to push the Sametime client out OTA and also the MDS Runtime to my users and that makes life a lot easier on me.

Now I just have to wait for Verizon to release a new version of the device software so we can take advantage of some of the new features. =(

Saw this over at John James' blog and thought I'd give it a shot.

I think I got lucky and got West Virginia, Colorado and Missouri in the first five so that really helped on getting the accuracy of others.

I saw this article and it made me think back to some of the reports from IBM: Leadership in a distributed world: Lessons from online gaming & Online multiplayer games build business leaders

From Harvard Business Publishing
"Together, these five attributes make for employees who are flexible, resourceful, improvisational, eager for a quest, believers in meritocracy, and foes of bureaucracy. If your organization is receptive to these traits (and it should be), look for gamers and the disposition they will bring you."

The five attributes that they list out and describe;
They are bottom-line oriented.
They understand the power of diversity.
They thrive on change.
They see learning as fun.
They marinate on the "edge."

As someone who plays some online games, perhaps a bit too much sometimes, I agree with what the article says but those are attributes anyone can have as well without being an online gamer.

EDIT: Someone in the comments of the article actually mentions the IBM study from last year.
