You may have been hearing about IBM's WebSphere product lately, and been confused about what it really is. Some people are nervous that IBM will replace our beloved Domino with WebSphere. In fact, Domino and WebSphere are complementary technologies, though their "integration" is not (yet) without its difficulties. Come hear about how the two products can (and can't) work together, and see a demo Bob built for Lotus to use at Lotusphere. http://www.looseleaf.net AND Our very own Stan Uptagrafft will begin our meeting by telling us about his experiences with Notes/Domino server and the Palm/and modem. The EON (end of network) devices are a HOT new area. Come early (6:30pm) to hear it all. Also see news section to vote in the SearchDomino POLL on giving your users Notes access through wireless devices. -KAL AGENDA: 6:30 FIRST SPEAKER-- Notes, PDAs Etc Stan Uptagrafft 7:15 LOOKING AHEAD -- Upcoming speakers and organizational updates 7:30 MAIN SPEAKER -- Domino and Websphere Bob Balaban, Looseleaf 9:00 CLINIC - Q&A -- Bring your Lotus Notes & Domino questions and we'll share answers and problems. 9:15 ADJOURNMENT Post meeting confabs continue down the street at Bertucci's NOTE** Meetings are held on the SECOND WEDNESDAY of the month!
