Day 1 - Make it so!
Day 1 is proceeding at the rapid pace I expected. The opening general session featured Patrick Stewart. He was pretty cool. He told about how he got into acting and gave us some examples of his Shakesperean training. Most excellent quotes from Henry V:
" ... WHO EVER LIVES PAST TODAY AND COMES HOME SAFELY WILL ROUS HIMSELF EVERY YEAR ON THIS DAY, SHOW HIS NEIGHBORS HIS SCARS, AND TELL EMBELLISHED STORIES OF ALL THEIR GREAT FEATS OF BATTLE. THESE STORIES HE WILL TEACH HIS SON AND FROM THIS DAY TO THE END OF THE WORLD, WE SHALL ALL BE REMEMBERED. WE FEW, WE HAPPY FEW, WE BAND OF BROTHERS ! FOR WHOEVER HAS SHED HIS BLOOD WITH ME SHALL BE MY BROTHER. ..."
Then there was the lotus people. Lots of demos of Workplace. Pretty cool stuff. Notes and Domino is here to stay. They showed how to integrate your existing stuff into what's new. All very cool and easy. Domino 8 is going to be even better. Of course there have been no timelines so far. As is to be expected. They said there are about 500 first timers here and attendance is up over last year.
Lunch was a box lunch that was both tasty and filling. Lunch outside on the lawn.
Ya gotta love wireless. I'm sitting in the hall between sessions and getting excellent access. Also nice to have all my MP3s with me to drown out the muttinger of attendees.
I've been surprised that I am actually seeing people I know. Ran into Jason Collier in the partner pavillion after lunch. Off to another session then the product showcase reception where I'm meeting up with a few cohorts from last night.
