Started this morning at the Lotus Connections Community BOF session, considering this was a 7 AM session following the party at Universal Studios was very well attended. Interesting discussion with the Connections Product and Design team on deployment issues, both technical, and on adoption techniques. Next up was a session on Policies with a look at new features in 8.0 and what is ahead in 8.5. Major impovements in 8 in simplifying the structure of polices, and allowing true lockdown of Notes Client setting that can be enforced. The next session was a Lotus Connections deployment session, which covered deployment scenarios, best practices, and common mistakes. Like many other sessions this week the room was full and overflowed. I am currently sitting in Gurupalooza.
