The last day of Lotusphere dawned, and I for one spent most of my time comparing notes with other CPG customers and also browbeating the developers on my pet Lotus Notes peeves...So a fairly quiet day with not too much to report ... until the closing session by Benjamin Zander about leadership, which I thought was fantastic.
Rather than blather on about it here, I found two of his earlier sessions online that formed part of the hour long session. I highly recommend them! Go here (20 mins) and here (15 mins) to watch - they will help you understand "how fascinating!" and why we all keep saying it!

That's all from me on Lotusphere 2009. Many thanks to my co-bloggers for their excellent posts - I feel like I've been to all the sessions this year (yes, my head hurts!) I hope you enjoyed our coverage too!

I am so inspired by the Benjamin Zander that I never imagine that I would one day try to sing Beethoven #5 in German. What I personal will take away from this last session is that the Lotus community is alive and strong. The product is getting better and better. The motivation to innovate has challenged us further. Find that sparkle in peoples' eyes and always remember Rule #6!
I've not worked my way through all the posts yet but I will. Any plans to import this to an internal Blog Central blog for further comment?
Importing internally is a good idea. We orginally wanted to use the internal tool but there were a couple of barriers:
(a) At the time we couldn't self provision an internal blog
(b) We need to be able to blog 'on the fly' at the conferences we are at - this means blogging via mobile devices and the public 'kiosk' terminals available at such events
Since then, we've also used the public nature of the blog to extend readership into other segments of the business such as WWY, which we'd be unable to do internally.
Think of this as a 'wish list' for the internal tools! I'd love to get to a single blog as we'd then be able to do things like attach the presentation content and have the deeper conversations that aren't appropriate on a public site.
Just my view...
Don't publish this internally!!!
My experience of blogcentral is a somewhat butchered version of Confluence and is really limited functionally... buggy too.
Sure, import the text automatically or something but I think blogcentral has a long way to go before becoming an equivalent tool - just in terms of functionality and usability.
It should be noted that the majority of Brian's conversations are considered inappropriate on public sites. :-D
