Are You Ready? System Requirements #Perfect10

In this 4th webcast in my #Perfect10 series I discuss system requirements for v10 of Domino, Sametime and Traveler.  Yes I know we don’t know those yet and we don’t even have the beta but we do know some things that are coming and more importantly this is something you should do before any major upgrade regardless.  If we want an upgrade to be successful we don’t want it dragged down by old or outdated architecture and operating systems.

It runs a little bit longer than I like at 19 minutes I had a lot of information to cram in. I’m sure you can speed me up to 1.5x if you want to save a few minutes 🙂 As always if you have any feedback or would like me to do a webcast on a specific aspect please let me know.

V10 Roadmap: What’s new in Mail, Chat, and Verse on Premises?

Following on from our presentation at IBM Think, on Thursday May 24th I will be presenting a follow up webcast with Ram Krishnamurthy, Chief Architect, Notes, Designer and Xpages (HCL) and Andrew Manby, Director of Project Management (IBM).    On the webcast we will be showing the latest additions to Notes client mail, calendaring and Verse on Premises all of which comes from live code and will ship with v10 of each product later this year.

If you saw our presentation at Think there have been more additions and changes since then – the speed at which the products are being developed is something I haven’t seen before and there are some great new features and UI changes I think you will like.

We have a lot of content to cover in 45 minutes and Andrew will have some news you will want to hear too so go here to register for the webcast starting 10am EST, this Thursday the 24th of May.

If you want to stay up to date with all the changes happening to Domino, Sametime, Traveler, Verse and other products then keep an eye on the Destination Domino site where all the news and announcements appear first, and while you’re there why ot sign up for the newsletter.

As we all get ready for v10 of the products later this year I will be blogging more of my own preparation work on my blog at https://turtleblog.info and also populating a Youtube playlist called Perfect10 with a series of 10’ish minute videos to help you prepare.

Are You Ready: Domino #Perfect10

In today’s edition of my #Perfect10 webcast I discuss some steps in finding your Domino servers, reviewing their dependencies and auditing database access.   This is a 15 minute presentation which I’ve tried just as slides with my voice instead of video.

As always please let me know what you think and anything else you would find useful.

Next Up: Are you ready – Traveler, Sametime and Web Mail

Path To A Perfect 10 #perfect10

Here’s an intro to a new blog series I am starting to hopefully take us all through preparing for v10 of the ICS products due out later this year.  If you have suggestions for what you’d find useful outside of the things I mention in the video please let me know.  I’ll be using the hashtag #perfect10 for this which I’m sure isn’t used anywhere else and won’t lead to any confusion 🙂

Any feedback as to format is welcome.  Most blogs will have both slide content and video to match as I thought that the most engaging.  I am trying this as a YouTube channel.

Don’t Miss This Amazing Opportunity

In three weeks’ time I’m off to Rotterdam with over 400 other people to attend the Engage conference so in preparation I went through the mobile application (thank you Paul Harrison) and created my agenda.  Holy Heck .. I’m not sure how I’m going  to fit even the highlights in as well as my own sessions, seeing what the sponsors are doing and talking to friends (that bit may have to hold for the evening).

So at the bottom of this post are my DNM (do not miss) items.  Every one of them worth travelling to Rotterdam for.  The eagle eyed amongst you will notice I have already badly double booked myself but that I have also been smart enough to add my own sessions to my agenda so I don’t miss them.

I have three sessions, a technical one on Docker for Domino, a strategic one on creating your own personal brand and how to change that brand and one on managing the noise by filtering, limiting and controlling how and when people can reach you.

  • If you want to stay ahead of ICS product strategy and the fast moving developments happening this year.
  • If you want to start planning your v10 deployments and upgrades.
  • If you want to connect with IBM and HCL and feed back about a feature or functionality that’s important to you.
  • If you want to see presentations from leading independent IBM< Champions on administration, development, strategy and new technologies

Get registered and get yourself to Rotterdam

An Introduction Into Configuring Domino for Docker

9.0.1 FP10 brings support for Domino on a docker platform.  You may know that docker is a container solution but what does that mean and how could it affect your Domino infrstructure?  In this session we’ll review how to install and run Domino in a docker container, whether it can support external clustering and the decisions to consider when designing container architecture.

The following presentation was meant to be given at the Swiss User Group on April 18th.  Unfortunately I was throwing up with a stomach bug from April 15th – 19th so had to cancel the day before.  I have never had to cancel an event I committed to before so thank you to Andrew Magerman and the team for understanding.  I sent Klaus Bild my presentation which I believe he gave a version of in my stead so thank you to him as well.

DMARC, GDPR & Social Connections

Last week I was at Social Connections in Philadelphia.  The Social Connections team once again put on a great conference around IBM social software and extended this time to include security content.  I presented two sessions – one around security and specifically SMTP DMARC deployment which I am increasingly being asked to deploy..  My second session was about how to approach GDPR as the regulations come into force in less than 1 month. I tried in this session to speak to a US audience who may not be aware in what ways GDPR will impact their business.

Both sessions are shareed below and I hope you find them of interest /use

An Introduction To The DMARC SMTP Validation Requirements
DMARC is a SMTP security standard being increasingly requested by customers to protect against email spoofing. It uses a combination of SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail). Using DMARC you would publicly specify how your outbound mail is sent and the receiving server would verify that the mail it receives matches your requirements. In this session we’ll discuss DMARC deployments and what to do if your mail server (like IBM Domino or SmartCloud) does not yet support DKIM?

How To Approach GDPR Preparation & Discovery
In this session, presented as a workshop outline, we will walk you through your GDPR responsibilities and how to assess your risk. We’ll give some recommendations on high priority but easy to fix issues and how to discover, secure and take ownership of existing data. At the end of the session we will share the workshop outline to help with your own planning.

Up Next: Zurich (SNOUG) & Philadelphia (Social Connections)

Over the next few weeks I’m pleased to say I’ll be presenting at two very different events and both with new content.

At the IBM Center in Zurich on April 18th I will be presenting on configuring Domino for Docker as part of SNOUG (the Swiss Notes User Group).  This is a new presentation that both introduces the concept of Docker and details the architectural decisions for deploying Domino along with some design suggestions.

Later in the month on the 26th and 27th of April I’ll be once more presenting with the Social Connections team in Philadelphia.  I’ll be doing three very different sessions, one technical, one business and one social.

Technical: An Introduction To The DMARC SMTP Validation Requirements

Business: How To Approach GDPR Preparation & Discovery

Social: Reaching Across The Aisle To Become A Different Kind Of Champion
jointly presented with Wannes Rams

My trip to Zurich is only a few hours but I have much more time in Philadelphia and hope to get some museum visits in – the Museum of Art, the Barnes and the Rodin are all on my wish list.

Now back to finishing these presentations…
