On Monday January 21st IBM is hosting a jam in Stockholm where IBM Domino customers and IBM business partners are invited to give their feedback on what V11 of Notes/Domino should contain. Tell me what YOU want me to say and ask for!
The IBM Domino V11 jams that were announced back in November are now happening all over the world. Next Monday, I’m attending the one happening in Stockholm. Here’s your chance to tell me what you want me to bring with me when it comes to ideas what V11 should contain (or not contain, as the case might be).
While V10 was a release mostly focusing on the Domino server, so that it could catch up to the modern world, especially when it came to API, JavaScript, Java and administration, V11 will have equal focus on the Notes client. Personally I’ve been part of a group giving feedback on the design of the V11 client, so I know that there’s much happening on that front as well.
IBM describes the ongoing V11 jams like this:
“The main issues that we are currently thinking about are remnants of the first jam:
- Improved support to the so-called “Citizen Developer” – further simplifying the possibilities of creating apps, so the LOB departmental users can create small apps without being expert programmers, but at the skill level of writing macros for a spreadsheet.
- Extend e-mail in the direction of “open e-mail” (ie with any client) and make it easier to use with powerful analytics functions.
- Further optimizing the autonomous features / “lights-out” operations of Domino for superior TCO.
This release will be critically important to many different types of users: Staff in specialist departments, secretarial services, managers, etc. – allowing them to contribute to the digital transformation of their enterprise and proving their value through daily use of the Domino platform in many scenarios.
To understand your thinking better, we will run a series of V11 Jams; An IBM Jam is a method based on the IBM Design Thinking method, which is ideally suited for the structured development of scenarios for specific roles (personas) with a clear practical focus. These jams are about Domino V11 and what should be in it.”
If you are not able to register yourself, what do you want me to say at the jam? Do you have a good idea, suggestions or thoughts? Leave a comment below!
