LotusLive now. Offered as little as $3/user/month (wonder what that gets you, or how many users it requires to get that price?). A file is uploaded from Notes client, then others can see it via other client types, can edit (with appropriate permissions), has notifications - all managed by LotusLive. LotusLive provides profiles, meetings, charts, activities, different classes of users (which is used to control what you can do - like roles, maybe?), and more.

Connections Communities coming onboard second half of year (Connection integration with LotusLive) - allow you to have symmetry between corporate and cloud.

LotusLive - full Notes mail/calendar/contacts support coming online this year. Also going to offer Traveler, BES server, data migration services. BETA in spring. Wonder if they're considering any hosted apps on LotusLive?

New member: LotusLive Labs, available today. Makes available Lotus Research stuff such as EventMaps and CollaborativeRecordedMeetings. Demoed downloading from LotusLive Labs, editing via Symphony. Plugin analyzes metadata in Symphony document, then tells you if any of these people (found during discovery) are online for collaborating. LotusLive Labs available to partners in Q2 2010.

A BP is integrating the ability to do digital signatures via LotusLive (Labs?). You add a signer in the location where the person would sign the physical doc, then you click "start signing". The signor opens the document, navigates to the area for signing, you click it, then it signs it and protects it to ensure no changes happen after the signature. This could be useful, especially for legal stuff (contracts, agreements, etc.)

Demos must be over now, Jeff and Kevin are doing HORRIBLE puns - so bad it makes you squirm in your seat. Man, it is so sad it's funny (which I think - I hope - is the point).

Moving on to partners...
