Since I was a bastard and didn't give you your second clue yesterday, I'll give you two this morning. To recap where we are:


First clue: It is new for Lotusphere.

Second clue: It is a collaborative effort.

Third clue: It will repeat.


OK, here's this morning's clues:


Fourth clue: Many skillsets are needed.

Fifth clue: Open to all, but only a few at a time.


I'll have another clue posted later today - keep those guesses coming!


Rock

**I don't approve of political jokes...I've seen too many of them get elected.

Comments

1 - @17: Oh, I've been there, that's why I mentioned karaoke specifically. The key word in that mock suggestion is competition, not karaoke.

2 - Good Lord this has gotten out of hand. I think a little less Techno Lab hands on and a little more Marketing. I could be right you know.

3 - Usability testing???

4 - Rock, you're not a bastard....because of that! ;)

Hmmm.

-Early morning Speed Drills by the Dolphin Pool?
-Maybe (and PLEASE NO!) The Rocky Horror Domino Show?

"It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Radicati takes her toll
But look at the console
Uptime is very much longer
We get to keep control

I remember working with WebSphere
Drinking those moments when
The errors would hit me
And the server was calling
Let's get to Domino again
Let's get to Domino again

It's just a click on the left
And then a click to the right
With your finger on Escape
You can click on the right
But it's the Web UI
That really drives you insane
Let's get to Domino again
Let's get to Domino again

It's so dreamy
Oh, fantasy free me
But you can't print
No, not at all
In another dimension
With client/server intention
Well designed, ROI trumps all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're into the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation
Like you have back your weekends

We're back to Domino again
We're back to Domino again

Well I was sitting at my desk
Just a having a think
When a geek of a guy gave me an evil wink
He got on the console, took me by surprise
He had a copy of exchange and the devil's eyes
He installed it and I felt a change
Uptime meant nothing, never would again....

OK that's all I have for now.....More clues or I'll continue ;)

5 - I've got it! Tandem parachute jumps with the Instant Technologies Sponsored parachute team...

http://www.instant-tech.com/instant.nsf/root/b4way_sponsor.htm

It is new for Lotusphere. - This would be the first time it was attempted
It is a collaborative effort. - It's tandem, more than one person and with the team.
It will repeat. - Multiple drops, multiple takeoffs.
Many skillsets are needed. - Ability to scream loudly and walk at the end of it.
Open to all, but only a few at a time. - The plane can only carry so many people.

6 - lol - why would you all want something geeky like a technical lab to load software... let's think outside the boxing ring here!


7 - This is a real guess:

IBM/Lotus are going to be Filming Commercials using real Lotus Users during Lotusphere. This way IBM can have us say the things they have always wanted to say about MS and the others out there. See If I say MS sucks and IBM video tapes it and reairs it it's me giving my opinion, but if IBM says it then they have to be abel to back it up.

That is my guess and I am sure I am probably way off base, but what the hell. It's just Rocky's Blog and no one at IBM reads this anyway....where does Rocky work again?

8 - Ba doo doo doo de doo doo doo
Da da doo de de dadadadoo

9 - @Chris: Lotusphere Golden Gloves tournament?!? Ouch...

10 - Lotusphere Idol?

11 - Jam Session or a code sprint.

Lotusphere is a dance-free zone.

12 - Lotusphere Twister?

13 - Focus group(s) for the new beta Hanover client that will be announced/released at LS'06 keynote.

14 - The one I wanted to do many years ago, but SONY didn't have time to pull it off...A John Madden PlayStation Superbowl party.

15 - About time! IBM is finally introducing the Killbots using Lotus software...

16 - @4: Pretty sure they had hands-on labs with WSAD (Eclipse) last year; not sure what else you'd do with that.

@6: Rich, it should at least be something that's possible.

@8: Hey you stole my scavenger hunt/reality TV challenges guess! As for the karaoke, that's been a part of Lotusphere for years - haven't you ever been to Kimonos?



17 - Well, I would know something that is a collaborative effort, is open to everyone, but only a few at a time, usually two. But it certainly is not new to Lotusphere.

18 - What's up with the Super Bowl being in February?!?

19 - We are going to play "Where's Brill(0)?".

The winning team is the one that can document they saw Ed standing still for more than 5 seconds WITHOUT a cellphone or earbud pressed up to his face?

Winning team gets free Lotusphere passes for life!

20 - Each day there will be a new attempt to migrate the kiosks over to SharePoint and Exchange.

21 - boom, chick, boom, chick
boom boom, chick
boom boom, chick

22 - Lotusphere Thunderdome? Two men enter, one man leaves?

23 - Amazing Race, Lotusphere Edition
1st Annual Lotusphere Scavenger Hunt
Lotusphere Idol, karaoke competition

Serious guess:
Special Lab (a la the Domino Internet Playground years ago) where teams of people can build systems combining all products in the Lotus brand (Domino, Sametime, Portal, Workplace), with prizes for best results.

24 - @Volker,

Is that legal in Germany?

25 - It's either a dance or Lotus will start marketing to the masses

26 - Hmm! Sounds like something hands on and geeky, I'm there!!

How about a lab full of IBM Servers(LOVE THOSE BLADES) we get to load code on and play with. Show me the line!!

27 - I am guessing it has something to do with Eclipse. Open to all, but only a few at a time? New to Lotusphere? Many skillsets are needed? Not sure, but maybe Eclipse?

Just a SWAG.

- Matt

28 - you need to blog that, Brian.

29 - Some sort of a team competion, Solution building or the like.
with Cool prizes for the winners

30 - After I read the clues again....I take it all back.....

It's a Collarbrative Ball Pit or one of those Boucy Things you get for your kids birthday.

Next Clue: You have to take ff your shoes
