1 - @4 and @Rock

Based on the Adminp comment. How about, "the critical domino admin tasks" for developers and newbies. What loads on startup, and what they do.

2 - @David, Well the difference between Developers (=Designers) and Administrators is that Administrators trust whatever their manuals tell them, and they are doing an awesome job at utilizing the built-in features of Domino. Developers have no clue about those existing things, and rather do to everything from scratch. Of course, some developers have some knowledge about the admin side too, which may give them some shortcuts. But the server tasks like AdminP and the JavaConsole are crap anyway, so I rather be a hardcore developer and not entrust business critical data and servers to those tools.

3 - Jackie (9) - I may do the DXL one as a session, I think there may be enough interest there to warrant it. Thanks for the suggestion. Also, I wantt to thank you for your comments on the other sessions, I am taking them to heart

4 - The "Admin for the Developer" or "Developing for the Admin" is a hot topic, I think. I've gotten a few requests via email asking if I'd blog about it, or share tips.

Hmmmmmmmmm.

6 - Are the R6 to R7 CAAD upgrade exams going to be in LotuSphere 2006 yet?

7 - You Said "We're done with much of the intro stuff (except for new technologies), and we want to go DEEP into the tech stuff being presented. "

I want to make sure the Lotus folks know that there are folks who have never been to LS and are first timers and would be drawn to a little more intro into Admin or Intro into Designer, and then move on. I am an Admin who does little very little designer and would love to spend some time seeing someone else show me a bit more about designer. I learn by watching other do. An Intro class woudl be good. You might attract folks who are thinking about Lotus or moving to Lotus to get thier feet wet. Don't discount the into stuff yet. There is a new hug community of Domino folks waiting to learn more about there new inviromant.

I am sure that it will still be a great show and conf. but don't loose sight that some of us have been in and around Domino for a while (Me 5 years) and have never been to a show, and would like to start off slow and build up.

Thanks!

8 - You guys ROCK. I think everyone has great ideas and I want to go to all of them.

What is DXL?

I would like the Sametime Admin stuff, Domino.Doc and a good overview of WorkPlace as not one at IBM can narrow it down to an explination and I would like to do a Workplace on iSeries install workshop? To much to ask for?

Admin 2 Dev class would be nice.

999 Admin Coding Tricks

OpenNTF should do something where they showcase thier tallent and long list of projects? They might already do this I don't know.

I will post more as time goes on.

9 - AJAX/Domino HAS to be one of the topics this year. I've been giving presentations on it the last 2 months and the audience is really hungry for it. If you look at the great contributions Mike H, Bob O, Julian R, and Richard S have been working on the last few months, there are some fantastic toolkits out there now for developers to make their Domino apps sing.

10 - "But the server tasks like AdminP"

Yeah, gee... AdminP doesn't simplify ANYTHING. *eye roll*

11 - Rocky,
The Admin for Developer session would be appreciated. I went to one of those a few years ago that Libby did and it was great! And how about doing a session on the DXL project you started posting a while back? Or if not that one, then something similar that uses some new tools that those of us who are pretty much using straight lotusscript could use to get ideas for ways to implement our own projects with a new tool. Specifically, something that starts with problem definition and goes through thoughts behind why to use different tools and then into the coding.

12 - A best practice session on "What's the point of DB2 in Notes" would be REALLY great!

I'm already trying to get customers out of the clouds thinking that they can finally start building relational database applications in Notes because of this new feature!

13 - @David - what about jumpstarts? BTW, I am planning on some "Admin for the Domino Developer" and "Dev for the Domino Admin" sessions. Those have done really well in the past, so that type of stuff will be in there, most likely.

Also, if anyone has some suggestions about what they want (or don't want) to see, now is the time to speak up!

Rock

14 - @3 I would like to see more coverage of the companion products this year over last year. DomDoc, Quickplace, Sametime etc.

You may want to get input from the GCPC too they have lots of ideas.

15 - @ Ya'll

I would have rather had the DNA to be a hard core developer too, but it didn't happen that way. I would love to kick out miles of great code and make Lotus better for the entire company, but that is one thing that don't come easy for me. I am trying. I download NSF from OpenNTF all the time and try to figure out what the hell you all are doing. I should probably focus on being a damn good admin, but the creative side in me wants to create code and applications that are pretty. I will figure it out one day and hope to see you all at Lotusphere in 2006 if my manager will let me, for some reason my company wants Domino and Notes to run like a top and at the same time not help me by sending me to things like LS to learn....go figure. Silly Company!

Thanks for all the kind words, and I look forward to those two sessions you mentioned about the Admin to Dev stuff. That sounds very cool.

I like typing stuff on this and seeing it come up below. Very cool!
