Here are just a few of the things I'm looking forward to learning / doing / experiencing while I'm there.
- Meeting like-minded Domino and Messaging Administrators and IBM customers.
- Finding fixes for some of the more frustrating features of Lotus Notes and Domino.
- Learning more about Portal / Connections.
- Learning more about Tivoli Directory Integator, and having a play with it.
- Understanding how other administrators or infrastructure experts would re-design my server topology if they got the chance. There are so many ways to skin that cat! :)
- Learning more about automated client deployments or upgrades.
- Having a play with ND9.
- Meeting the guys from Panagenda, understanding more about the Eclipse manager plugin for Marvelclient and the product roadmap. (I'm a big fan of Marvelclient, but the last release had its limitations for ND8 users).
- Meeting third party suppliers, the vendors of the tools which I could not manage without, and those who have products I'm interested in.
- Attending the general introduction meeting. I watched it online last year and laughed at how everyone applauded the demo's when they worked! :)
- Buying Ed Brill's book.
- Meeting the many Domino bloggers that I've learnt so much from personally.
- Contributing in my small way to making Connect 2013 a social business event.
