Speaking this Spring

The nice people over at THE VIEW have once again allowed me to be a speaker at their spring conference this year.  The conference is in a different location this year, but its an exciting one.

Check out the conference website called AdminDev2012 and see all of the great sessions that are coming to the Metro DC area from May 15 – 18.  I’m pretty excited to be doing 4 sessions, including 2 C&S based ones.  I’m also doing a version of Mat Newman‘s User Blast (with Mat’s blessing of course) and one session on how to evangelize what we do called “Setting your organization up for success: Evangelizing the Lotus  and IBM Collaboration Solutions product portfolio“.

They’re expanding the conference also by adding some business/project planning sessions and of course your favorite Social and Collaboration sessions.  These conferences are always high-quality and very technically dense.  If you’ve never been to one, I don’t know how you’ve survived.  Take that busdget money you’re holding on to and break it loose a little and take advantage of one of the best learning/dollar conferences you’ll ever find.  Come see me, Andy, Bruce, Gab and dozens of your other favorite speakers.  Pick our brains, learn some stuff, have some fun!

Open Mic Goodness – The Resource Database

Hey!  Long time, no see!  I’ve missed you.

Why don’t you call me?  Seriously.  Call – next week.  We’re having an Open Mic call – the second of the year for the Calendar team over here in Support. We’ll be here on Tuesday, April 10 from 11 until the phones go dead and they make us stop talking.

See this link for a calendar entry to add to your own calendar – and see THIS link to post your questions in advance.

An Open is Mic is where we talk for a while and then you can ask questions until they make us stop talking.  I will be one of the grunts running the web chat/Q&A session during the call, not talking unless I’m forced too.  A couple of my colleagues will be presenting and fielding questions.  We’ll have dev around also and the whole US C&S team will be over in the web chat with me.

So, sharpen your pencils, think about the questions, post some in advance if you want to.  We’ll be here.  You should be too.

Making the Move to WordPress

I’m about the last one to move over here, and I’ve been putting it off because I thought it was hard, I’ve been too busy, etc.  Yeah, plus laziness.  I need a site that’s more mobile friendly and easier to update from an iThing.

I hope to make this more visually interesting with sidebars and stuff, but for now, I’m just going to start.  I’m going to leave my archives over at Connectria‘s site in my Domino-based blog, but I’ll probably eventually move the content here or over to the IBM wikis for permanent storage.  But I have to start sometime, so here we go.
