Lotusphere in Second Life
Category Technology
It's tough to be missing Lotusphere for the second year in a row. Like many people I've gone to every other one and now January and Lotusphere are pretty much synonymous. For various reasons, I am sitting home this year again reading everyone's blogs and trying to experience as much as possible vicariously. By reading the press releases and downloading the presentations in a month or two will get me most of the technical information I need, missing the Opening General Session is the biggest loss for me. Yes, the technical sessions are great, the labs and the networking are very important, but for me, the OGS always set the stage for the rest of the year. Just the ability to sense the mood of the audience and how the presentations were accepted has always seemed to foretell whether or not it will be a good year. I therefore came as a pleasant surprise to find that Lotusphere would be available on-line in "Second Life".
