The other day,
John Turnbow blogged about this and also put up an idea on
IdeaJam. Where are the standard set of Domino web services?
Just about every other application framework has AT LEAST a set of basic services to build on, and some even have specialized services exposing core functionality to Service Oriented Architectures or even just to acommodate service based integration and development.
Since R7, the Domino server has been able to expose native web services, but no basic services were provided. With R8, Lotus (or IBM Lotus) has provided a client framework that is extendible, mashable, and able to be a client for advanced composite applications. It has been branded "The Desktop of the Future" and the IBM "Open Collaboration Client Solution", and on occasions has been touted the "Client for SOA".
But where IS "SOA" in the Notes/Domino philosphy? It seems that focus is all on the client and on the ability to
consume web services and wery little is on the provisioning and deployment of web services. But with no focus on providing and deploying web services, why would anybody select Domino as a service provider?
IBM has an extensive SOA strategy. Domino should as a minimum play well with that strategy, and ideally play well with SOA as an architecture style in general, not just geared towards the IBM ESB or other semi-proprietary platforms. But flipping through the slide decks from Lotusphere, the SOA message is at best vague. At worst, it is completely out of alignment with the rest of IBM's SOA message. I'm not even sure the definition of the term is consistent inside the branches of Big Blue.
I would like to see that fog being cleared, and a great way to start would be to provide a set of specialized Domino services as a part of any Domino server. Obvious candidates for services are simple PUT and GET operations, lookups and the like. Also directory services should be included as should the
ability to check credentials against the user's ID-file and carry them through to other services. After all, Domino
can take the role of the main corporate user directory!
There is great interest in Notes/Domino 8 and 8.5 at the moment, not diminshing as MS stops recommending upgrading to Exchange 2007, and being the "strategic fit" wouldn't make things worse, that much is certain.
I have often considered starting a project on OpenNTF with exactly this objective, but since I'm not a developer (or at least a very rusty one), I've held back so far. Also, I
honestly believe that this functionality should be
native to the platform and
supported by IBM Lotus.
But no matter what, John's idea is very, very valid and I heartily support it.
So could you, but promoting it at
IdeaJam.
(And this is where I would love to embed the IdeaJam plugin for John's idea, but being a complete idiot, I can't make that work, so PLEASE click through on the link above).

Right, so Lotusphere has come and gone, and my chosen one has been put through it's paces for the first time. Time to write a more thorough review as promised.
Looks & Feel Three times during Lotusphere, the tiny Ideapad was taken for a Thinkpad X-series. Not because it is as big as an X-series Thinkpad, but because it looks the part.
It's as well built as the Thinkpad series, no creaks, no twisting. It's solid and sturdy and has that quality feel in every aspect.
Performance Perhaps my home PC is ancient. Maybe my work PC is sub-par. Maybe I'm just not used to the power of today, but I'm truly impressed.with the Atom processor. It's no slouch this thing, even if it might not be up for Vista.
With 2Gb of memory (don't accept claims that the Lenovo S10e only supports 1,5Gb - you CAN add a 2Gb block, it just won't address the last half gig), it had no problems running Domino 8.5 Server AND Domino 8.5 Designer client. Of course not for production purposes, but definately good enough to work on the road.
It also succesfully runs a virtual Windows 7 image without breaking a sweat. Of course, this was not on the lowest power-setting, but still.
Weight and Handling At 1,2 kilos, the S10e is definately no heavyweight and that makes it easy to carry with you. You can easily manage holding it in the grip of your hand for a longer period of time. If you have the 6-cell battery, I expect it will be even more comfortable to carry. Those present at the Lotusphere closing session might recall Ben Zander throwing a copy of his book "The Art of Possibilities" out into the audience. I did not catch it, but had no problem making a grab for it (and just tipping it onto the next row) while handling the Lenovo - in the middle of a blogpost - in the other hand. Handy indeed.
Screen The 10.1" screen is brilliant. The somewhat odd resolution of 1024x576 works fine, but of course puts some emphasis on how you manage your screen real-estate. As an example, I chose to stick with Google Chrome for browsing. It uses much less screen space than IE7 and Firefox3.
Screen quality is excellent. The picture is crisp and clear.
During Lotusphere, I was watching 2 episodes of LOST on the ABC netplayer. Had I had the bandwidth, I would have gone for the HiDef version. I also use it for "placeshifting" my TV when I'm at my girlfriends (I use Sony Locationfree technology, but am not religious about it. I'm sure Slingboxes rule), and the 10,1" wide-screen is an excellent TV-screen on the move.
Battery I only have the 3-cell battery which of course puts running time between charges under a bit of pressure. The S10e has profile-controlled battery-management software included for easy handling different usage scenarios. The profiles are customizable, and after a bit of fiddling, I have managed a running time of just over 3 hours, while using the wireless network adapter and bluetooth connection, and while surfing the internet and blogging.
The S10e returns quickly from hibernation state, making it no big difference between "Stand-By" and "Hibernate", which should encourage you to make use of hibernation and save battery power.
Splashtop The S10e comes with a quick-booting micro-linux implementation called
Splashtop from DeviceVM, giving you sublimely quick access to browsing, music player, photo manager, instant messaging and Skype. It is however fiddly to get to work, if you're running a fairly secure wireless network and private IP-addresses. Open networks and DHCP works like a charm.
The Bad Sure, there are compromises. They keyboard really
is cramped, and some keys have been relocated in such a way, that it will screw up your typing for a while, until you get used to it, at which point it will screw up your typing on any other PC. Some keys have been completely omitted and put as functions on other keys. This is actually less of a problem than the relocation, since the omitted keys are the ones you hardly ever use, anyway.
The trackpad is absurdly fast in Splashtop mode, and yes, the trackpad buttons are ridiculously hard to push and the click is very loud.
Conclusion Will it replace my T61? No! But it
will be a very fine travel companion, and I won't be carrying that huge T61 around much anymore. I'm very satisfied and recommend the S10e highly.

4.38: Session is over, and so is Lotusphere 2009.
SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR !!! 4.35: Ben Zander ends by telling us a religious tale about monks. Good story. Sadly I didn't get where it was from. I rank Ben Zander as one of the best closing speakers ever.
4.34: "Possibility is ALWAYS only one sentence away!"
4.32: Beyond the "Fuck-It" (BTFI) we were brilliant! :-D
4.24: Again - but in "one-buttock" version. Excellent.
4.22: We will now sing Beethoven's Ninth (Ode to Joy) ... In German. I feel like Eric Cartman at Christmas.
4.20: The whole world's eyes were shining when Mandela got out of jail, when the wall fell in Germany ... and this week.
The new leader is the one that can enroll you into possibilities, not into downward spirals.
4.17: Just noticed Carl Tyler sitting in front and to the right of me ... no longer blue. Almost didn't recognize him. ;-)
4.15: "The rhythm of tranformation is lighter, brighter and more boyant."
"The only reason we have goals is to make our eyes shine."
4.14: Zander now skipping across stage. The energy in this guy is amazing.
4.11: Zander puts all the reality-TV into the 'downward spiral' category. Paris Hilton and the educational system too. Barack Obama thankfully in the 'possibilities' category.
4.09: Zander talks about playing this Chopin piece in Ireland to streetkids, and he got approached by a 19-year old who had cried, when Zander played that "Chopping-piece".
4.05: Ben Zander elaborates into talk about Nelson Mandela and dedication to the "Vision".
We must now think of a loved one who is no longer there, while listening to Chopin. Hi Grandma - love you!
Music was beautiful.
4.04: This guy is brilliant. Fantastic way to explain musical theory.
4.02: He has everybody singing in key - intuitively. "Nobody is tone-deaf", proven!
3.54: Experiment time. We shall now learn to appreciate classical music. Ben Zander will play a prelude by Chopin. We should imagine a 7-year old playing. He makes an excellent impersonation. :-)
He explains the difference between "one-buttock" and "two-buttock" music. Hilarious!
He plays the Chopin E-minor prelude. Or sort of ... it gets broken apart for a couple of good points.
3.52: Ben Zander starts by giving everybody an "A" then ask them to write who they would be to deserve that A by the end of the year. Brilliant!
3.47: "Angels fly because they take themselves lightly."
Next time you make a mistake, say "How FASCINATING"!
Rule #6: "Don't take yourself so seriously" (There are no rules 1-5)
3.40: Ben Zander tells us to choose between anger, resignation and possibility. In life in general, that is. Do you find that question hard?
"Who am I being, that my child's eyes are not shining"? A life question indeed.
He is very inspirational. Not at all what one would expect thinking about conductors and classical music ... how's that for predjudice? Bah, me! :-/
3.30-something: A poor lad named Eric is on stage. We're singing birthday songs for him. I can now claim to have song under the the conductor of the Boston Philharmonics. How many can say that ... oh, wait. Damn!! ;-)
3:26: Guest speaker is conductor of the Boston Philharmonics and author of "The Art of Possibilities"
Ben Zander.(who?)
The subject is leadership.
He talks of two paths - one is the downward spiral of frustration, the other the base for opportunity.
He is conducting the crowd ... well. Lots of humor and energy!
3.25: 5th fecking row, and I forget my camera. Poor cellphone pics to be added later.
3:20 Kristen Lauria - VP of sales and marketing takes the stage.
She shows video from the participants in the "Work Smarter Together" initiative she called out for in the OGS.
A lot of customers and partners share good stories.
3.19: 2010 Golden ticket winner is Marco Ramirez of Intercall, who will be back on the 17th of january 2010 for the 17th Lotusphere at the Dolphin and Swan hotels.
3.15: Lotusphere movement #1 - Ready Go!
Session starts with video of impressions from this year.
Bob Picciano takes the stage in front of a huge "lotusflower" logo.
The crowd congratulates Sandra Marcus who - one again - put a fabulous event together.
Graphs were shown of bandwidth use during tuesday. Collaboration ROCKS!

January 22nd, 2009
12.30: Rocky closes the session.
12.26: Lot of debate about the contact lists ending with recommendation to "Ask the developers" later on.
12.25: Question on Sametime extended product family. Chris Miller says that there is no getting around having to build a Websphere infrastructure.
12.23: "Are any gurus considering hiring laid-off MS people?" - Yes ... Lotus911 needs janitors! ;-)
12.21: Richard Schwarz (from the floor) asks for support to a question regarding the RedWikis that he intend to pose at the ask the developers session later.
12.20: Question from about the poor printing features returns a reply from Chris Miller that "Lotus has been the greenest product since it came out", due to nobody printing from it. ;-)
12.18: A question about smartcard integration leads to answers about Chris Linfoot's blog and also points question-poster to Planet Lotus.
12.15: Kevin Pettit asks for opinion on the OpenNTF announcement from the OGS. Nathan explains that IBM is driving the process to setup a non-profit foundation, just like Bruce Elgort and Nathan originally had hoped.
12.12: Question about what to do for code-management in the Notes/Domino environment. Teamstudio "Ciao" is recommended ... by Teamstudio. Bill Buchan remarks that "proper Eclipse-based tools" have been requested for a long time. Rocky has a question on DXL-roundtripping on Ideajam - go vote!
12.10: Chris Byrne asks if the IDOL winners have had a good time and if it has been worth it. "Fun Learning" is the best answer to that question EVER!
12.08: Gab asks the Lotusphere IDOL winners how they feel about the new generation moving into the Lotus-sphere (for lack of better word). As students they test all kinds of tools and just use what is best for them. Gab thinks that more college students should be invited to Lotusphere for free.
12.07: Mitch Cohen asks how many Gurus have been twittering while on stage. Good show of hands.
12.05: "Anybody running Lotus Protector?". Chris Miller has run it and explains that IBM has consolidated a lot of previously available tools into that product and it does play well. There is both an appliance version and a VMWare image.
12.00: IBM support for OpenNTF.org is hailed as a future help for source of information. Also the community itself is plugged as well as the DominoWiki. Discussion get heated. In the end, TRAINING is plugged. Everybody tries to skip over the training bit, but it is pretty essential for understanding the tools and in order to be able to 'perform' as developers. Where are the "Teach yourself Notes/Domino development"?
11.57: Richard Schwartz asks a question about the attendance statement at the OGS (Picciano said "customers" up 2% witch seems impossible - I thought I heard "attendance", but could well be wrong). Some gurus doubt the numbers but say it has "felt busy" this year.
11.55: A question from a customer migrating from Exchange to Notes fills the room with applause. BinaryTree recieves some praise. Question is about format mess-ups between Notes SMTP and Exchange SMTP. Balaban and Gab Davis speaks about email-fidelity tools.
11.53: The community as a whole is asked about what they think of LotusLive. John Head thinks "innovation is good". Bob Balaban (self-proclaimed Notes Treehugger) is fine with it, but confused since he found out that the entire "Bluehouse" concept wasn't on Domino. Balaban also thinks it's good to see IBM attack the markets of Microsoft and others without being 3 years late.
11.50: Andrew Pollack and Bob Balaban loses me completely in some Java-discussion. I love not being a developer. ;-)
11.45: The panel does a forced introduction. Mooney is Bill Buchan's son ... I'm starting to believe that, actually!
Question on ID-Vault, Chris Miller answers that it really works well, except cross-domain. Also a Nathan recommends some care regarding where to put replicas of the ID-vault.
11.40-ish: "Is the 8.5 Roaming feature ready for Prime-Time?" - Gab Davis thinks so!
11.35: Questions on Xpages and DAOS open the show. Paul Mooney really likes DAOS and plugs his own Show'n'Tell slides, which are really a picture by picture step through the entire process. Good slides (and a great Show'n'Tell). Lotus911 has a DAOS estimator out.
11.30: The entire cast of Disney is on stage for GURUpalooza ... no wait, it's some other guys. No Goofy here ... well, ok - maybe quite a lot of Goofies actually!
Kevin Pettit flipped the "Reserved signs on the first few rows" ... nobody noticed, and they're empty except for Kevin, Deb, Martine Leyrer and a few others.
Rocky Oliver does the introduction. He tells the Carl Tyler Blueman story, and Carl shows up as a blueman despite the charity fundraiser not reaching the intended amount.

Guys'n'gals - I feel so lucky. I feel so priviledged. I feel so blessed.
For the first time in years, I made it to
the Turtle's party at ESPN (even though it took some time for the Turtle himself to show), and for the first time EVER i made it to the Bloggers Annual Lotusphere Dinner (B.A.L.D.) at the Big River on the Boardwalk.
Meeting all of you people whose blogs I follow on a daily basis was great, and finding that meeting you in person feels oddly familiar is even greater.
You are a bunch of wonderful people, all - and I am lucky to know (of) you!
Thanks
@Joelitton and Shirley,
@jonvon, Deb and Ed,
@Paulmooney,(thanks for the kind words re:
olufsphere.com) @WarrenElsmore & Kitty (I wanna ILUG - Green is the future),
@Belgort (congrats on the wonderful news),
Francie (and you
honestly call that "working"?,
Martin,
@Phigment &
@LettuceB (I will look you guys up later),
Kevin and
@Duffbert.
And also a big "Hi" to all the people I "met" without getting the opportunity to say "hi" during the evening.
Will Bill,
Yancy,
Mitch,
Julian,
John Head, Kai (where did you hide) and of course the Turtle, himself.
And many, many others.
Being part of this community is a rare and wonderful thing.
I wish you all a brilliant Lotusphere! See you around!

... there must be som OLUF at the Lo-tus-phere. ;-)
Yes - the scandinavians are arriving in Orlando by the numbers, and apparently we are bringing the cold weather with us.
It's 9AM and 5 degrees centigrade out. The locals are wearing gloves and wintercoats. Great, since I've brought my entire summer wardrobe, incl. the odd pair of shorts.
The trip here was good, despite Icelandair having
really hard seats and the In Flight Entertainment system only showing movies I had already seen. Planes leaving and arriving on time. Flawless transfer in Reykjavik. Quick baggage handling in Orlando Sanford airport, and comfy drive to the hotel (thanks, René).
The flight from Reykjavik to Orlando provided an fantastic experience: A
6-hour sunset.
I kid you not. At the time of take-off in Reykjavik, the sun had already set, but at march-height, the sun was setting in the horizon, and duringe the entire west-bound part of the flight, we were flying at the very edge of day and night. For a short while, the sun even
rose in the west! How many can claim to have seen that? For a full 6 hourts, my window was full off an amazing palette of colours (that my stoneage digital camera completely fails to portray).
Arriving at the Dolphin hotel is always a pleasure. Kind people work here and do theiri job well. They are always willing to make that little extra effort to make my experience as a traveler as good as possible. This year, I got a room with a lake view. It sounds a bit more romantic than it is, since the lake has a
huge hotel (The Swan) right on the other shore, but I still like having the view of water, the EPCOT boats and the Disney Boardwalk.
It feels "homey".
Today is all about settling in and getting the logistics set up. Internet connection, demo environment, and getting the hang of
IdoCheckin.
Sadly, it seems that the service number setup of for IdoCheckin doesn't really work for me, so I might be using the UK number. :-(
Also, text messaging in general seem be a problem - at least from my (always troublesome) HTC TyTNII (no - you should'nt get one of those).
Tonight, I will likely be at B.A.L.D. and crash ESPN. It's been years since I've had the benefit of being here on saturday, and I hope to make the best of it.
Now, where was my GoreTex socks? Brrrrr

I'm in a great mood! Lotusphere is just around the corner, and the buzz is higher than ever, I can hardly wait to finally face the Lotus community in person again and not just relate to all of you on a virtual level.
I'm also happy, because the last few weeks I have experienced great support from this community in almost every possible way.
Some of the issues were small, some bigger, all in some way important (to me at least), and all resolved to the best possible result, mainly due to the kind and eager assistance of people in the Lotus community.
I'm not going to name names, it's not important right now. It's not all that important what people did to help, either - just that they all volunteered their assistance when they could just as well have turned their backs and spent their time and effort in a more interesting way.
.
But that is the nature of a good community: People being willing to give without needing to get something in return.
It's a great attitude to have.. It's synergistic in nature. It gathers momentum and builds energy that gives the community the ability to perhaps perform miracles like
turning Carl into a BlueMan for Gurupalooza, or similar things (even serious things, too, sometimes).
;-) Me, I probably feed
off more than feed
into the community, so maybe it's time to do whatever little one can do to put some energy into it.
It's time to pay it forward (and perhaps play a game while doing so).
Did you like the ASW blogpost title by the way? ;-)
It's not much, but here goes.
Those who read the scattered posting on this blog will know that I bought myself a Lenovo S10e netbook the other day. I also ordered a 2Gb memory upgrade for it.
Now, by design, the S10e comes with 512Mb RAM soldered to the mainboard. My model had an additional 512Mb in the extra slot. That slot has now been filled with a 2Gb stick, making the 512Mb relatively worthless to me.
So - here's the game ...
If you own a Lenovo S10, S10e or maybe even an S9e netbook that use these SODIMM DDR2 PC2-5300 memory blocks and suffer from having only 512Mb of memory - which is/was the original spec on the S10/S10e - and an empty memory slot, all you need to do is ...
... FIND ME ! The rules are simpel:
- You must find me at the Dolphin (so I can run up to my room and get the prize).
- You must correctly identify me as "Lars" or "olufsphere.com" (If you can't pronounce "Lars", don't worry, trying is good enough)
- You must bring your netbook, so that we can beef it up on the spot!
- Game begins sunday evening at the Opening party.
and...
- You must be prepared to have your photo taken with me for publication on this blog.
There, that's not too hard, is it?
And let me remind you ... Notes/Domino 8.5 runs very well on the Lenovo with 1Gb of ram - surprisingly well, even!
Ok? A final hint ... this is me:
