-Now- we´re talking
I'm sitting at the front of the auditoriumat the Copenhagenedition of Lotusphere Comes to You. The event itself was relatively quiet yesterday in Ârhus, but today,the questions are coming. And many of them are on a common theme-- the need for more Lotus marketing, fighting the "Notes is dead"message.The local team tell me that they'verun some Notes/Domino ads locally; they've done the press interviews; they'vegot the customer case studies. We need to tell the story more. Likethe customer I met with yesterday who have 8000 Notes databases (in additionto mail), including a Notes app they consider a competitive differentiator. Like the partner who just told me he's already built two applicationswhich use Web Services in Domino 7. And lots more.The interest level in "Hannover"is quite high here. As I said on the TakingNotes podcast last week, while"Hannover"'s eye candy is clearly going to be a headline grabber,it is the notion of compositeapplications that is going toexpand the value of Notes for the next ten+ years. This is why I'mencouraged by signs that the "Hannover" development team willstart taking their work more public, soon .... everybody wants to knowwhat's next for Notes.
