Civility in critiquing the ideas of others is no vice. Rudeness in defending your own ideas is no virtue.

The question has been asked by a number of people, so I guess I should comment on it again.  Yes, Genii Software is planning on hosting the 10th Annual Lotusphere Sessions database.  This year, Penumbra will be a co-sponsor (mostly so that somebody besides me can help make sure repeats and room changes happen in a timely fashion).  Some features will be the same (crazy layered schedules so you can figure out what sessions are in the same room visually).  Some features will be new (heavens, don't tell us there will be an xPage component!).  As usual, the Turtle Partnership will have their BlackBerry version and iPhone version synched up with the sessions db.

But the newest and most unexpected twists may come from you.  Every year, there are others who hitch their wagon to the sessions db and provide mashups or specialized versions or wacky plug-ins.  This year, YOU could be the one who makes a feature that everybody wants.  Cheers and adulation could follow your every step at Lotusphere (OK, maybe if you are lucky, somebody will buy you a beer or a milk shake).  Time to get cracking.  You know the basic data involved.  You know the popularity (4 out of 5 dentists who go to Lotusphere etch the sessions database on their patient's teeth).  So, what are you waiting for?

Lotusphere - where gray old farts like me go to discuss cool new technology...
