New Domino and Blue Domino: A Little of Both At Lotusphere
by Dan Burger

Lotusphere has not been short on drama the past two years. It's not so much the drama of new product releases and announcements, or glimpses of concept products being demo'd live with the opportunity for user interaction. Lately it's the drama surrounding the Domino faithful's uneasiness with open source initiatives and IBM's attempts to explain its roadmap and assure the crowd that no one is being left behind.

As I See It: The Unknown Face of Marketing
