Trying to stay ahead of the printer...again! CU registrations still coming in...
Category Collaboration UniversityJust when we have all the agendas and name badges printed, another registration or two hits the system. It never fails...every year, when I get to London, I buy an inkjet printer for the room and end up printing one or two new badges. This thrills Gab Davis, as she has a veritable graveyard of lightly used cheap inkjet printers in her kit closet!
With six days remaining before Collaboration University Chicago and 13 days to CU London, I am now reviewing presentations and can tell you that there is really some great new technical info this year. With new versions of everything (and Sametime 8.5 indepth coverage) there are going to be more than a few revelations at this year's conferences. Here's a sample of what we're up to!
- Warren Elsmore has labored many many weeks getting Sametime 8 on Linux, so you don't have to.
- Gab Davis has slain more dragons than I can count working through various permutations of LTPA and LDAP to get the WebSphere-based Sametime 8.5 Meeting Center going.
- Viktor Krantz has created several new Quickr 8.2 hook examples and "variations on a theme."
- Troy Reimer has created three reusable examples and has been deconstructing six-figure development projects so you can understand how to plan development.
- Chris Miller is having alphabet soup every day. LDAP, SSO, LTPA, SMTP...you get the idea.
- Julian Robichaux and Jerald Mahurin have written sessions for others to deliver (yay for the home team!) on data transfer, migrations, and support.
- Carl Tyler has cooked up new Sametime API examples, and will show you how to customize the new Sametime 8.5 web client - very cool stuff here.
- Mitch Cohen and Stuart McIntyre have teamed up to get you up and running on Connections 2.5, and show you how to make the biggest impact with light customization.
- Tim Clark and Kat McGivney are preparing lab machines, working on VM transfers onsite and generally being indispensable.
- Our IBM guest speakers Louis Richardson,
Darren Adams, Miki Banatwala, David Kajmo, and Rob Ingram are showing us
the future...and how Quickr kicks Sharepoint squarely in the ECM.
There are slots remaining, and the ROI is pretty clear, so feel free to register online today.
