Enjoyed the Lotusphere Comes To You event at Wembley Stadium yesterday.
Firstly the new Wembley was a great choice (we even got to see the hallowed turf with organised tours), its an impressive stadium and a quality venue. LCTY opened well, the keynote from Bruce Morse, Lotus VP Unified Communications did a good job building on the cool new stuff we heard about at Lotusphere - Notes & Domino 8.5, Expeditor, the extended Sametime family, Sametime Unyte, Bluehouse, Foundations, Portal, Forms, Connections, Quickr - Bruce had a lot to cover and I thought he put it over well.
There were good sessions backing up the keynote, though personally I would have liked more about Quickr - especially given that Quickr 8.1 launched last week - and a little less about Websphere Portal. But overall I thought LCTY delivered what it promised with some style.
Bruce mentioned that the new Foundations communications servers for SMB will be coming to the UK later this year. This is great news. We are currently piloting a Foundations server here at Turtle and it is impressive, very easy to set up and to manage.
LCTY is being repeated in Manchester tomorrow.
