89 | IBM should give Mr. Ben Langhinrichs full programmatic READ access to the Lotusphere schedule |
85 | IBM should make Lotusphere information broadly availableDavid Bailey1391 - 29 2008 (9) IBM and Business Partners invest heavily in Lotusphere. In order to maximize return and value to the Lotus community, IBM should make a small investment to make sure the material is broadly available. IBM should pay Ben Langhinrichs to attach presentation materials to his sessions database so they could be ... |
73 | Title session PDFs using the actual title instead of 'BP101.pdf'Jess Stratton1340 - 16 2008 (3) When Lotusphere makes the conference presentations available to us to download, we can download each track as an individual zip file. The problem is that all the presentations are titled things like "BP101.pdf", "BP102.pdf", etc. If I want to look up a session from previous years past, I have to ... |
71 | ALL speakers need to provide presentation slides |
65 | Leave coffee out for longer than 15 minutes |
60 | Bring back the Lotusphere CLP DiscountRandy Smith3883 - 15 2007 (8) Special conference pricing for CLPs was offered to Lotusphere attendees for several years and then taken away last year. I think this really hurt IBM/Lotus' relationship with the certified community more than if they never offered it in the first place. Why not just offer us a token $100 discount ... |
39 | Show additional Times for Sessions that are scheduled more than once.In the pocket agenda and flipbook agenda, I would like to see all alternative times/days listed on each session. This would make scheduling easier than flipping through 2 different books to find out when that session is being presented again. IBM did this at the Blade Center X-Series Conference, and it ... |
37 | Blogger's LoungeKeith Brooks6783 - 05 2008 (4) We want to see a Blogger's Lounge, as many other large shows have now. Perhaps part of the press area, but it's a place for us, and for others to come, meet, learn(we can schedule mini sessions) train, do interviews and of coursse blog. Sponsorship is possible, and ancillary items ... |
37 | IBM to Review Last Year's Lotusphere IdeaSpace Suggestions |
33 | Bring your power strip!Richard Schwartz3597 - 29 2007 (6) Let's face it... there's aren't enough AC power outlets in session rooms, and there never will be. If you're carrying your laptop with you in your yellow backpack, and if you're carrying the power brick, too, then the weight of a cheap little 6 outlet power strip isn't a lot ... |
31 | IBM Should Change the Slide Templates |
31 | Ask The Developers via IQJamPeter Presnell26400 - 22 2009 (6) Each year one of the popular sessions at Lotusphere is "Ask The Developers" where members of the Notes development community get the opportunity to ask questions of IBM developers about their plans for the Notes Development Platform. Rather than waiting for a once a year chance to ask a limited ... |
30 | Cross-index the Product Showcase Catalog |
28 | Pose questions/ideas to speakers before and after sessionsBen Langhinrichs6939 - 08 2008 (3) In Version 2 of the Lotusphere 2008 Sessions DB (now available to replicate or download), I have added a new collaborative feature that allows attendees, or potential attendees, to ask questions before, during and after sessions. Rather than just having each speaker guess at what the audience is ... |
16 | Increase number of votes for BOF SessionsRandy Smith3883 - 13 2007 (2) The Lotusphere 2008 session preference survey came out, which allows an attendee to vote for only 5 BOF sessions. With the "Communities of Interest" BOFs stuck on the bottom of a list of probably more than 100 BOF submissions, it doesn't look too good for the one I submitted (related ... |
16 | Provide suggested session pathsProvide sheets with suggested session paths to take for those who are aimed at one particular product or goal.
Ex: Certification, Quickr, Sametime, Administration, Development, Archiving, etc.
|
14 | Provide unconference space and let us run itDan Sickles1710 - 09 2008 (2) A few folks have suggested space for unconference sessions. Let them organize the unconference on the fly. IBM would just provide the space....and coffee. |
13 | Digital Bulletin Board for Positons/ContractsKeith Brooks6783 - 07 2007 (7) Not just from BPs and individuals but companies as well. If you need us, what better place to find us and interview us and solve your problems.
Partnerworld, can you do this or will this be part of the online Lotusphere registrants zone? |
12 | How about letting us park at the Swan/Dolphin for free?Keith Brooks6783 - 01 2007 (15) You know we already got a big bump in price this year, couldn't you include parking passes for attendees at least? Not all of us can stay at the Swan or Dolphin. |
12 | Create and Impress with a true Social Network usage of the productsJamie Colpean920 - 23 2008 (0) Expand the IBM Social Network Something I find interesting is the lack of social / business connectedness at this event. Yes there are a number of well known names and personalities. There are those who have put themselves out there to be known. However, there are thousands here that are ... |
12 | Accept Submission for non-Lotuspehere PresentationsPeter Presnell26400 - 18 2009 (1) It seems like the competition to get a speaker spot at Lotusphere goes up each year. As a devoted non-Lotuspehere attendee for the past 16 years I find that gaining access to the Presentations acts as a useful substitute. Not as good as being there but I learn heaps. My ... |
11 | Lotusphere Online Orientation VideoRandy Smith3883 - 17 2008 (1) I like the new look and features in this year's Lotusphere Online (most of them anyway -- I like the domBulletin discussion format better than the format they're using this year). However, it took me a while to figure out how to use some of the new features (or why ... |
8 | Fix the Session Guide and Mini-Flip Guide |
6 | Viral Videos Presentation sessionKeith Brooks6783 - 09 2008 (1) IBM pays their agency a huge amount of money, and all we ever do is complain about it.Let us show you what we the people want to see shown so our execs or clients "get it" finally. Not being an american idol watcher, and evidently in the minority, what ... |
4 | ideajam ideas - LotusphereAfter reading these posts and the blog post from one of the top innovators...I just wonder...but no matter what, for me I have gained knowledge in both admin and dev from the ideas and comments that are found and shared here...so I do find value in participating... http://www.wiseman.la/web/cpwblog.nsf/dx/ideajam-rocks-buy-it.-now-why-im-not-a-top-contributor-anymore. ... |
3 | opt-in RFID location tracking |
1 | Add stuff, share rides, etc to a new LS2008 WikiAndrew Pollack2904 - 21 2007 (1) A new wiki has been set up to help people plan and have fun around Lotusphere. It won't work if you don't go play. Everyone gets to be an editor! Go make good things happen, people. I set it up, but I've totally opened ... |
0 | Ideas, anyone?Keith Brooks6783 - 01 2007 (5) Post your thoughts on BoF, sessions or wanted to see/learn things at Lotusphere.
Thanks Bruce for adding this. |
-18 | Split sessions between hotels by trackchuck dean361 - 28 2008 (4) Since the conference is getting larger and sessions are now spread over the Swan, Dolphin and Yacht and Beach - with the possibility of having sessions at the Boardwalk if things continue to grow. Since administrators don't usually go to developer sessions and developers don't usually go to admin ... |
