SNAPPSapalooza
Category SNAPPS
It's not often (2-3x per year) that we have the opportunity to bring everyone together at SNAPPS, with the distributed home offices of half the team. But this week, Julian is in from Atlanta, and Troy from the Vancouver BC area. Troy and Viktor delivered a Lotusphere Comes to You Online session yesterday (one of only two presented by non-BMers), and we're using the rest of the short week to wrap up some Collaboration University items, meet on client projects, and have a little fun. Tonight, everyone (17 of us including local families) is going to the local "independent professional baseball team", a Kansas City T-Bones game.
It's funny that whenever we all get together, it's like we haven't missed a beat. With Sametime, VOIP, Twitter, Facebook, and other random social software in use daily here, we tend to know what's going on even without the daily lunch outings. But there's still nothing like a good week of face-to-face teamwork with colleagues, not to mention a bit of baseball.

As
we enter our fourth year, Collaboration University is evolving, just like
the collaboration software we know and love. With new versions of Sametime
and Quickr released in the past 12 months, the release of Lotus Connections
2.5 (which we're covering as well), this is going to be a great year to
come to Collaboration University in September. The dates are:
