ILUG2008 sessions starting to come together
Category
Well, the emails to the speakers is going out very soon, but I thought I would post (VERY ROUGH DETAILS) about some of the sessions that will be presented at ILUG2008. Click here for details. Looking at this list just knocks me away. Mr Lepofsky will be giving the keynote session (Don't forget Alan, suits not allowed) and all the best speakers I know of at Lotusphere will be there.
This post will get cleaned up over the next few days and sent over to the ILUG2008 site, but I thought that readers may want to see what is on the way, even if it is not finished yet. There are a few that we need more details on and a few to finalise. All I can say is that it was very tough for us to pick the sessions, based on the amazing amount that were submitted.
Have you not registered to attend yet? Seriously... why not.. ask yourself.
Register... now.

SESSION 1

TYPE: Dev
TITLE A Muppet's Guide to Using Eclipse in Domino (or "Take my web service, please!")
Mark Myers & Ben Poole
Java for Domino has been hyped since Notes 4.6x, everyone's talking about Eclipse, and even your toaster has a web service. But how do you start? We mean really start, no assumptions made, none of this "It's dead easy, you just invert the trifold overloader" rubbish.
We'll be looking at stuff like where best to shove your Java files, what version of Java to use with Domino, how to get your posh enterprise Java code into Domino blemish-free, and what the hell those error messages really mean. We'll skim over a few of the good tools out there too, so if you've always been dubious about "packet sniffing" (and honestly, who can blame you?), hopefully we'll lay your fears to rest.
Start-to-finish, we will consume a web service in Eclipse, and use that service in Domino, no messing.
Join us, learn to be smug, and get up-to-date.
SESSION 2
Speaker 1 : Julian Robichaux
Speaker 2: Rob McDonagh
TITLE : Charts! Reports! Graphs! Beer (no, not for you)...
TYPE: Dev
Need some charts, graphs, and reports from your Notes databases? We'll show you some techniques you can use right away. Turn a view into a bar chart, export data to Excel (bleh) or Symphony (yay), and even create comely (that's right, we said comely) graphs on the fly. You can display it all in dialog boxes, on Notes documents, or on the web. Heck, you could even do all three at once -- we don't care!
All of these techniques work with Notes 7 and 8, and they use free tools and free libraries that are free so you can do this stuff for free. That's free, free, free, and yet more free. That's a whole lot of free right there, so save your company some money with this spectacular - yet free - presentation. In return, we will graciously allow you to buy us beer.

- why hiding information can be helpful sometimes and

SESSION 15

Title:The Security Nip/Tuck - Tightening up your environment with Domino R8
Has your security been left to get old and flabby? In this comprehensive session we'll take you through the new security enhancements introduced in Domino and highlight the most common security loopholes you may not be looking out for. From upgrading your certifiers and ids with higher quality keys to effective use of policies and how to secure traffic using SSL and TLS - we will demonstrate with live examples how each feature is configured and discuss where it could be used. Leave this session with the best knowledge to ensure Domino stays secure against the latest threats.
This session is intended for customers who may have originally installed Domino on versions 5 or earlier but have never reviewed their security. They may still be running the original keys, using physical certifiers, not utilising SSL or TLS for data transport, keeping copies of user ids for backup and may not be aware of what can now be controlled and managed with policies. These customers with aging environments are unnecessarily becoming ever more exposed to security threats simply due to their lack of knowledge. I hope to not only show them that Domino and Notes security has kept up with the growing security risks but explain how important it is to review and revisit security decisions made based on earlier versions.

Design programming using xml and dxl
LotusScript is the most powerful (and and most widely used) language for all IBM Lotus Domino developers. However, there are problems lurking in the script of the applications in our organization - yet we just don't have the time to find it all. This session will help you begin hunting down those problems. We'll show you how to write applications with LotusScript, XML, and DXL, to search applications for LotusScript design problems. and manipulate the designs to fix those problems! We'll also cover XML and DXL in LotusScript - what works, what doesn't, and work arounds to these problems. We'll also explore other "nifty uses", such as enabling users to configure application design preferences.
SESSION 25
Achieving "Peaceful" Coexistence Between Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes
While many organizations strive to standardize their messaging infrastructures on a single platform, many others do not. Whether through merger, acquisition or simple user preference, many organizations face a need to achieve peaceful coexistence in the messaging wars, perhaps for only a short time (while they transition from one to the other), but perhaps (if they can pull it off) for a very long time. The technical challenges involved in maintaining a well-performing dual messaging infrastructure are not trivial, but they can be met successfully with proper planning and the right technology. The big issues are all around directory synchronization, message transport, rich text, scheduling logic differences and data formats. Come to this session to learn how to overcome these technical challenges how to keep both Notes and Exchange up and running, and how to avoid mutually assured destruction!
