David Penzias, Publisher for The View did a brief opening before turning it over to Mike Rhodin.


Mike Rhodin - General Manager, Lotus Software

• Collaboration in the Ages of Mashups was the title slide
• We have heard the innovation is about people talk that shows how collaborative teams work together to generate content and reshape ideas dynamically and in real-time now
• Converging markets across open standards is driving the evolution of what the user will see as your desktop experience
• Mike and Ron started trading off as Mike brought up points, Ron would show and tell some new item to validate the concept.
• Mike then talked about Lotus purchasing Databeam and Ubique years ago and the "mashing" of them to get Sametime.  Capturing the lion-share of the market in enterprise chat services.
• This led into presence, location awareness and the integration of the top real-time communication vendors
• The nature of people coming together to fill in the gaps of knowledge.  Social Networking
• Mike led in with finding information you are interested in, what communities do you belong to, bringing us to Social Bookmarking.  Dog Ears.  A tagging network uncovering structure and flow and applying that to Activity Centric computing.
• So taking that stance, tag data instead of moving it everywhere, and locate those tags.  Like Technorati, Flickr, De.licio.us and others.

Ron Sebastian - all that is demo for Lotus

• He started with Hannover stating this wouldn't be delivered until early 2007
• Business card views for the personal address book
• Workplace Designer was used for a client based application to run inside of Hannover.  He had a local SAP server pulling data with Workplace into Hannover.  Data was input into the Domino application and in real time manipulated the SAP data
• Next on the block was Sametime 7.5.  Spellchecking got a round of applause
• Spellcheck
• Colors and font
• grabbing live data from spreadsheets into group chat areas
• The Skype codex is now used for audio.  This provided awesome quality even in a large room, no computer mic to your head and you could hear it all over the loudspeakers clear as can be
• location awareness with presence
• the list went on
• Skilltap and belonging to communities was shown, bringing out the IBM Community Tools (ICT) that is being brought into Sametime 7.5
• Real-time polling and information requests are part of this through the broadcast.  Responses get added to the instant chat meeting and ti grows as people have answers
• Answers can be stored in a skills database for later searching.  Capturing the skill of a community.  No word on what that database is, where it is located, what access is needed and can it be used by other applications, but being Domino, I would go with yes.  Now that is what locating skill and data is all about.
• Tagging, or Dog Ears keeps count of how many people link or bookmark certain data that is stored.  You could also search on bookmarks that other keep to see where people get their data.  You get to disseminate to others where you get your knowledge.  I know that some believe knowledge ownership is power, so sharing this information will not be easy for most to agree to
