As you may know the Agenda for ILUG in Dublin has now been published so hope you can make it. Looking down the agenda there are great sessions from an impressive list of excellent speakers, such as Bill Buchan, Chris Miller, Paul Mooney, Rob Novak, Bob Balaban, Rocky Oliver to name but a few.
A couple of sessions stand out for me (OK, I am biased) .....
Our own Gabriella Davis will be presenting "The Security Nip/Tuck - Tightening up your environment with Domino R8" on the first day.
In this comprehensive session Gabriella will take you through the new security enhancements introduced in Domino and highlight the most common security loopholes you may not be looking out for. Its aimed at organisations who may have originally installed Domino on versions 5 or earlier but have not reviewed their security. So they may still be running the original keys, using physical certifiers, not utilising SSL or TLS for data transport, keeping copies of User IDs for backup and may not be aware of what can now be controlled and managed with policies. So these aging environments may unnecessarily be ever more exposed to security threats.
Gabriella hopes to not only show that Domino and Notes security has kept up with the growing security risks but also explain how important it is to review and revisit security decisions made that were based on earlier versions.
I am also pleased to see that Valerie Wang, RIM Product Manager for IBM Technologies, will be presenting "Taking Lotus Collaboration beyond the office on your BlackBerry smartphone". I saw Valerie at Lotusphere and she was great speaker. In this session Valerie will outline a key theme from RIM - how you can effectively mobilise your infrastructure and applications using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
Once again the ILUG team have put together an impressive free Europe-based Lotus technical event. They deserve a big round of applause for their achievement, particularly when there is so much great new stuff coming out of IBM Lotus to learn more about.
