107 | Give attendees a DVD/USB with all presentation PDFs on itBen Langhinrichs6939 - 15 2007 / (19) This is always a favorite concept, but we spend a lot of money on a conference to which we cannot attend the vast majority of the sessions. IBM is going to great lengths to try to ensure that every speaker has slides well before the conference (our deadline is Dec. ... |
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 |
69 | All LotusSphere sessions put online as screencastsTommy Valand2726 - 01 2007 / (2) Other programming communities also have their LotusSphere equivalent conferences, where the experts share their knowledge with the community. Some of them make available (free) screencasts of the presentations. Screencasts from LotusSphere help increase the general competence level in the community, which again increases the ... |
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 ... |
53 | Refreshments ALWAYS AvaialableHenry Ferlauto3837 - 22 2008 / (3) Keep refreshments availble throughout the day in he Product Showcase. This will help increase booth traffic. |
49 | Coffee... please coffee |
49 | Add technical depth indication to pocket agenda |
47 | Get Disney to upgrade their Internet connectionJ Franchetti745 - 22 2008 / (3) Lotus must have some pull with Disney (Dolphin/Swan), with their multi-year conference contract. Get them to upgrade their internet connection. We all are experiencing slow performance, and I saw it effect two presenters today, as they were knocked off during their show. Send in a few IBM network ... |
42 | Bring back cert-lab at a discounted pricesKnud Højslet3303 - 25 2007 / (5) Last year cert-lab was about to die, but was brought back in.
Has it gone for good now, or could a joint effort (VOTES please) make it survive ? |
42 | Run single busses to the outlying hotels after 9:30 pm.Thomas Duff852 - 09 2008 / (6) One of the reasons that using the "big 3" hotels is so important is that the busses stop running to the outlying hotels after some totally rediculous time like 9 pm. Most of the important "networking" is just getting started by then! :) I would suggest that each conference ... |
41 | Lower the priceJerry Carter798 - 03 2007 / (15) Some of us lowely independent contractors work pretty hard promoting Lotus Domino but don't have a parent company paying our way. Could IBM lower the price on Lotusphere? |
41 | Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman from MythbustersThomas Duff852 - 29 2008 / (9) Alton Brown as our closing session speaker was pure brillance. It'll be hard to top for 2009, but I'd like to make the early pitch for Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters! I'm sure there are dozens of geek myths they could put to the test on stage (and even some ... |
40 | Are we ready for a Virtual Lotusphere Annex?Ben Langhinrichs6939 - 14 2008 / (4) I posted this idea on my blog first, but then thought it really belonged here: Adam Gartenberg proposed an idea on his blog, and I wanted to take it one step further. He suggested an UnLotusphere where people could post the sessions they had that were rejected ... |
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 ... |
