Great post you should read!

Roland Reddekop has posted a great entry titled Mainstreaming Lotus Notes in 2009. It is well worth your read! I will leave you with his two steps that we should leave with and do now!

Strategy A.
There needs to be more articles put out in mainstream publications that clearly and succinctly bring out the feature/benefits of Notes Domino. Use of graphics, interviews, case study examples, and convincing arguments need to communicate the essential benefits of Notes. Emphasize that, as the world has evolved, so has Notes, especially of late. The frequency of these releases needs to be high enough so that the average IT professional will run across 4-6 Lotus articles a year minimum, which itself goes a long ways to demonstrate the legitimacy of the product.

Strategy B. The Lotus community needs to get involved in commenting on these articles in a genuine, non-defensive manner. Rebut the argument not the person. Point out the true benefits you and your org, and your customers have experienced with Notes Domino and let those speak for themselves. Engage the trolls only on the concrete points they offer. Ignore the crude, nonspecific comments which any intelligent reader will bypass anyway.

Thanks for this Roland - we are on the offensive now and we should act like it!
