my pic(s) of the week:

I think everything is overshadowed by the release of Starcraft 2 this week ... but the new Avenged Sevenfold is a very emotional release. With The Rev passing away just in December, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater played drums on this disc. Hard to not listen to some of the songs and just feel the pain the band is going thru. Great tribute to a fallen brother. On that note, more Starcraft 2!!!!!

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:19:57 -0500 http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/ibm-please-follow-in-microsofts-bpos-footsteps-here-... IBM John D Head http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/ibm-please-follow-in-microsofts-bpos-footsteps-here-...?opendocument&comments http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/ibm-please-follow-in-microsofts-bpos-footsteps-here-... Karen Hobert's blog:

Microsoft showcased at the show this week a number of its partners who’ve already jumped on the BPOS bandwagon. To encourage others to start selling the suite, Microsoft announced that it will offer partners 250 BPOS seats for their own use.


You can read all the details on Microsoft's Partner Network page. Lots of fine print. For instance, here who is eligable:
  • Certified Partners
  • Gold Certified Partners
  • Microsoft Action Pack subscribers
  • Empower for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) members
  • Registered Members who have signed the Microsoft Online Services Partner Agreement (that is, who have enrolled in QuickStart)

So this is not available to everyone - you have to put some skin in the game to play. But, Microsoft is clearly saying to it's partners "BPOS is a big deal, go use it yourself, sell what you know" ... and I want IBM to do the same thing. I would like to see IBM offer complete LotusLive packages to every partner. Require some level of skin, but then give me access to every single piece of LotusLive. Not just Engage, but Connections, Meetings, Events, both web and hosted Notes email, and everything else. Enable me as a partner to use LotusLive every day. Then, when I get in situations where I am talking cloud solutions to my customers and prospects, I can show them how I do business every day. That will be far more compelling than any info you give me on a SalesTalk or any presentation you make available.

For the record, I don't care about issues people have with PartnerWorld or the Software option. Please don't pollute this post with that. But thoughts on if you are a partner and you would use this; and it would enable you to sell LotusLive better; are most welcome. ]]> http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dxcomments/ibm-please-follow-in-microsofts-bpos-footsteps-here-... http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/ibm-please-follow-in-microsofts-bpos-footsteps-here-...?opendocument&comments John Speaks 2010: Integration Session at MWLUG Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:01:10 -0500 http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/john-speaks-2010-integration-session-at-mwlug johnspeaks John D Head http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/john-speaks-2010-integration-session-at-mwlug?opendocument&comments http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/john-speaks-2010-integration-session-at-mwlug MWLUG hits Cleveland. I will be doing one session “Kum Bah Yah” Meets “Let's Kick Butt”: The Integration of IBM Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino with Microsoft Office, .NET, and IBM Lotus Symphony:
Welcome to 2010, where Lotus Notes and Domino are just part of your corporate toolset. This session will introduce you to integration of Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 with Microsoft Office, .NET technologies, OpenOffice.org, & Lotus Symphony. We'll start with the basics and build up to mail merge, exporting to a spreadsheet, charting, presentations, and integration on the Web. Advanced topics such as Visual Studio Tools for Office, advanced development with C#, and integration with Lotus Domino Web Services are included. Integration with Xpages, Google Docs, Sharepoint, ODF, OOXML, and Windows Explorer will highlight the options available. Every sample is new or updated, so even past attendees will get something from this session.

Looking forward to my first trip to Cleveland ... Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Lola are on the todo list! ]]> http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dxcomments/john-speaks-2010-integration-session-at-mwlug http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/john-speaks-2010-integration-session-at-mwlug?opendocument&comments New Media Tuesday - 7/20/2010 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 09:00:00 -0500 http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/New-Media-Tuesday-7202010 New Media Tuesday John Head http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/New-Media-Tuesday-7202010?opendocument&comments http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/New-Media-Tuesday-7202010

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 08:03:21 -0500 http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/john-speaks-2010-2-sessions-at-iamlug-2010-in-just-two-weeks johnspeaks John D Head http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/john-speaks-2010-2-sessions-at-iamlug-2010-in-just-two-weeks?opendocument&comments http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/john-speaks-2010-2-sessions-at-iamlug-2010-in-just-two-weeks IamLUG. I have two sessions.

The first is an hour version of the two hour Lotusphere 2010 jumpstart entitled “Kum Bah Yah” Meets “Let's Kick Butt”: The Integration of IBM Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino with Microsoft Office, .NET, and IBM Lotus Symphony:

Welcome to 2010, where Lotus Notes and Domino are just part of your corporate toolset. This session will introduce you to integration of Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5.1 with Microsoft Office, .NET technologies, OpenOffice.org, & Lotus Symphony. We'll start with the basics and build up to mail merge, exporting to a spreadsheet, charting, presentations, and integration on the Web. Advanced topics such as Visual Studio Tools for Office, advanced development with C#, and integration with Lotus Domino Web Services are included. Integration with Xpages, Google Docs, Sharepoint, ODF, OOXML, and Windows Explorer will highlight the options available. Every sample is new or updated, so even past attendees will get something from this session.


Since this is a hour version, I won't do every demo that I did at Lotusphere ... and I added a couple new and updated ones. Expect a cash course in integration goodness.

The second session is a new one for me entitled Collaboration Agenda 2010 – Putting it to work in your company:

At Lotusphere 2010, IBM launched the Collaboration Agenda, a new go to market strategy. The Collaboration Agenda is about realizing measurable business value from improving the way people interact. This session will help you apply the Collaboration Agenda to your business, be it business partner or customer. First, we will introduce to you the industry focused model and review how it applies to your projects or customers. Second, a practical mapping of how the IBM Lotus technologies fit into Collaboration Agenda via repeatable solutions and success stories will enable your implementations and/or sales. Last, we will review how the competitors (Microsoft, Google, and other Web 2.0 technologies) would map in a competitive situation – giving you the information and tools to compete with your competitors (for partners) or respond to potential system replacements (customers). 2010 is going to be a year full of challenges and competitors – leave this session prepared to win!


A couple cool things about this session:

1. It's brand new content
2. I am speaking with Carlos Casas from TheRockTeam
3. We are going to cover Collaboration Agenda from the partner and customer view - not from IBM's viewpoint
4. We are going to compare this to what Microsoft, Google, and others are doing

You can also find me spending time at the PSC table in the sponsor section. Look forward to seeing you all at IamLUG 2010 ]]> http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dxcomments/john-speaks-2010-2-sessions-at-iamlug-2010-in-just-two-weeks http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/john-speaks-2010-2-sessions-at-iamlug-2010-in-just-two-weeks?opendocument&comments New Media Tuesday - 7/13/2010 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 09:00:00 -0500 http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/New-Media-Tuesday-7132010 New Media Tuesday John Head http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/New-Media-Tuesday-7132010?opendocument&comments http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/New-Media-Tuesday-7132010

One interesting thought: 36 means that I have now been part of the Lotus community for half of my life. I started posting in the Ami forums on Compuserve in the spring of 1993, when I was 18. I didn't get into Notes and the Lotus BP community until a few years later, but still an interesting milestone. ]]> http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dxcomments/36 http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/36?opendocument&comments PSC Business Technology Resources Survey - Full Report Published Tue, 29 Jun 2010 11:00:00 -0500 http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/PSC-Business-Technology-Resources-Survey-Full-Report-Published PSCGroup John D Head http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/PSC-Business-Technology-Resources-Survey-Full-Report-Published?opendocument&comments http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/PSC-Business-Technology-Resources-Survey-Full-Report-Published
