MEETING CANCELLED DUE TO SNOW

Lotus Workplace, and how Hiway Federal Credit Union uses Lotus Domino.

CORRECTION: THE MEETING IS WEDNESDAY THE 14TH!!
Wednesday, December 14th, 2005 - 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM
Location: Hiway Federal Credit Union (see bottom of this page for map & directions)

Jeff Anderson of Comtech Group will be speaking about Lotus Workplace, starting with a general primer, then he'll explain how two companies are using it. Jeff is a former Lotus Notes consultant/developer who joined Comtech as their IBM Software Product Manager, so he's able to speak from a viewpoint of how it contrasts with Lotus Notes and other products we're familiar with.

At our last meeting we had talked about what we wanted to see in our future meetings. The most popular idea was simply finding out how other companies in our area are using Notes. Hiway Federal Credit Union has not only graciously offered their facilities for our meeting, but Dave Boden, VP of Technology, will give us an overview of how Lotus technology is used at Hiway Federal Credit Union! Hiway is a mid-sized company that has a significant number of Notes applications, so we'll all likely get a few ideas to bring back to our own organizations.

PLUS, and this is good news for some (this means you, Rick & Andrew :-) ) and bad news for others, they're in a different part of the Twin Cities than where we usually meet. They're a little northeast of downtown St. Paul. Click here for a map (pdf, 192k), or scroll down for directions.
