Domino Interface

Each year we try to get everyone to submit three months before the conference, but it seems we were unsuccessful again. Many request because of vacation, work or the Factory Tour has delayed some of you from submitting. So we will be extending the abstract submission CollabSphere until August 18, 2019 at midnight. So submit your abstract.

The new buzz word that has become more and more important is SECURITY. But, why is that? Security should always have been up and front and center. The Domino platform has always been at the forefront in terms of security from its inception. The new HCL Nomad (Domino Mobile App) platform brings this security to your mobile device. But let's face it, Notes apps are ugly compared to modern mobile apps. In June 2019, HCL launched the HCL Design Project called "Template Experience" to transform and modernize select Notes templates. To encourage the Notes/Domino community to unleash the potential of Notes and Domino V10, CollabSphere has joined forces with OpenNTF and launched the CollabSphere Beauty Contest. This global contest encourages you the developer to show your potential in transforming an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. So get your thinking caps on, design skills ready and transform the ToDo template into a beautiful but secure app. Go to https://tinyu...

MWLUG 2017 was our most successful MWLUG conference we have ever had. With over 232 registered and a small number of cancellations, MWLUG 2017 was the most attended and largest conference. We had over 60 sessions, workshops and round tables with speakers from all over the United States and Europe. Over a third of the sessions were non-IBM specific and included sessions covering new topics like MongoDB and GDPR. In tuned with our theme this year, Moving Collaboration Forward, our goal was to expand our conference this year forward towards a new direction and not just cover the usual. The world of collaboration is changing. No longer does a solution stand by itself nor does a solution just involve components from a single vendor. Companies need to chose the best of breed and integrate solutions together. Sometimes it involves solutions from many vendors. This is a direction that IBM is moving towards with Cisco and Box. At the same time we see customers moving away from the IBM stac...

For the first time, I will be attending Engage 2017 in Antwerp, Belgium.  It has been awhile since I have been in Europe and it will be nice to take a few days to visit Amsterdam and Belgium and then see many friends and colleagues at Engage.  Phora Group is a Bronze Sponsor and I will be speaking on my favorite subject, Dojo/MVC/REST. My presentation is entitled "Unleash the Power of REST APIs with Dojo"  I have 22 demos that walks attendees through the process of creating a number of commonly used controllers, implementing data binding and react in Dojo. Then, we will combine all what we have learned with IBM Domino REST services and other open source projects to create a dynamic interface that we would not expect with Domino and Dojo. Theo mentioned that there is still a few available attendee slots left.  So take the opportunity to come to Engage 2017, learn and network.  See everyone soon.
