  41. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Domino2025 Jam tour is coming to Toronto.  It&#8217;s on December 8, so you have a week to get <a href="https://www.ibm.com/collaboration/announcements/domino-jam2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">registered</a> before it happens.  The Jams have been organized by invitation.  So you need to sign up for the Jam before receiving the invitation for the event.</p>
  42. <p>This is the only date in Canada.  Get out and have your say about the future of Notes and Domino, Verse, Sometime, LEI and the rest of the products included in the IBM/HCL agreement.</p>
  43. <p>This <a href="https://www.redpillnow.com/should-i-buy-a-lotus-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blog post from Peter Presnell</a> is a worthwhile read about the opportunity for Notes and Domino, and also makes a great argument that if you are interested in the tool you owe it to yourself and your company to show up and have an opinion.</p>
  44. <p>Other known dates include the following:</p>
  45. <p>Dublin, Ohio December 13</p>
  46. <p>Brussels December 13</p>
  47. <p>Chicago December 14</p>
  48. <p>Dallas December 15</p>
  49. <p>New York January 8</p>
  50. <p>I know there is talk of hosting events in the UK, Sweden, Poland and elsewhere.  As I say, register for the Jam in order to be invited to the in-person Jams.  There is also talk of virtual events for those who cannot travel to the in-person Jams, but nothing has been published so far.</p>

  68. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At <a href="https://www.c3ug.ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener">C3UG</a> we have taken the step toward producing videos of our presenters for on-demand consumption.  This may end up taking the place of at least one of our in-person meetings during the year.  We&#8217;re not sure yet, so please let us know what you prefer.  I still think it is valuable to meet and share ideas in person, but as it is harder and harder to find a good time to schedule a user group meeting let alone have everyone take the time to make it out, the option of watching a video may be a better way to share that same information.</p>
  69. <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrKKN9HNdvg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Our first video</a> has just been posted to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLYFe1zEeeGYRPI_rMZj2Pg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube</a>.  <strong>Phil Riand</strong> of Trilog Group joined us to give a brief demo of the capabilities of Darwino as an application modernization tool for IBM Domino applications.  <a href="https://www.c3ug.ca/c3ug-blog/2017/9/15/c3ug-embarks-on-a-new-approach-to-sharing-information" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Our announcement of the video is here</a>.  Comments are open on the blog, so if you have questions for Phil please post them there.</p>
  70. <p>If you have feedback about this approach, or have a topic you would like to hear more about, please send your thoughts to <a href="mailto:info@c3ug.ca">info@c3ug.ca</a></p>

  88. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I thought I had been thorough prior to writing my blog post yesterday <a href="https://grahamacres.wordpress.com/2017/07/10/domino-designer-still-crashes-after-windows-10-creators-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">about Domino Designer crashing Windows 10 after the Creators update</a>, I&#8217;d missed the fine print.  This is to clarify what I missed and what you need to do as there is a fix available from Microsoft.  As it turns out, the <a href="http://blog.nashcom.de/nashcomblog.nsf/dx/microsoft-fixes-notes-client-windows-10-creators-crash.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post from Daniel</a> was in fact correct.</p>
  89. <p>What I missed, or rather, what I checked, was to make sure that my Windows updates were current.  I actually double checked by clicking to download any new updates, and Windows told me I was current when in fact I wasn&#8217;t.  Martin and his team at IBM in Dublin did some checking and then suggested I check again this morning.</p>
  90. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
  91. <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Talking to <a href="https://twitter.com/gmarjoram_ibm">@gmarjoram_ibm</a> and we think this is fixed: you need a more recent Windows update to v1703. See <a href="https://t.co/18x0er49MO">https://t.co/18x0er49MO</a> (err 0x7F) <a href="https://t.co/lcowwwYgoF">pic.twitter.com/lcowwwYgoF</a></p>

  93. <p>As Gary points out, you have to manually download and install the correct KB inside v1703.</p>
  94. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
  95. <p dir="ltr" lang="en">This is the OS build that contains the fix. I cannot reproduce the problem in this build. I installed KB4022716 manually btw. <a href="https://t.co/DL2MO4sCgu">pic.twitter.com/DL2MO4sCgu</a></p>

  97. <p>As I write this post I see that Microsoft has now made another version available, but note the highlight in the image below.  You need to look for <strong>KB4022716</strong> as noted above.  And you need to install it manually.</p>

  121. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Current as of July 10, 2017.  I can reproduce a BSOD crash in Windows 10 while using Domino Designer.  This is with the v1703 update to Windows 10 that was installed during the last week of June.  <a href="http://blog.nashcom.de/nashcomblog.nsf/dx/microsoft-fixes-notes-client-windows-10-creators-crash.htm">Daniel Nashed</a> reported that the crash had been addressed with the 1703 update, but it appears that the crash that was resolved was the one caused by customizations to the Notes client home page (ht to Howard Greenberg for the clarification).</p>
  122. <p>To avoid the crash when using Domino Designer, DO NOT do this:</p>
  123. <ul>
  124. <li>add a Computed Field control to your XPage/Custom Control</li>
  125. <li>in Design mode, select the Value tab</li>
  126. <li>change the value to be JavaScript and click in the edit panel</li>
  127. <li>boom!</li>
  128. </ul>
  129. <p>You can get around this by manually coding the SSJS using the Source panel instead.</p>
  130. <p>I&#8217;m using Domino Designer 9.0.1 FP7 SHF143 and Windows 10 v1703 (in a VM on a Mac Book Pro)</p>

  188. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">Some thoughts and observations on the recently completed IBM Connect 2017.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I think this is now 3 years in a row where I have left for home in a generally positive frame of mind, and in fact the last two have been quite positive.</p>
  189. <p class="p1"><strong>Hackathon</strong></p>
  190. <p class="p1">To begin, I participated in the hackathon that took place on Monday, organized by Alan Hamilton and Christian Guedemann among others, and sponsored by OpenNTF.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I have to admit that I was both excited and scared going in.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I was excited because it was an opportunity to learn new things, and do it with a certain time restriction, as well as meet new people.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I was scared because I might show up and not be able to make a contribution.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Well, it turned out that I had nothing to be scared about.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>There were 7 or 8 teams, including one comprised entirely of people from Japan (who took 2nd prize).</p>
  191. <p class="p1">We worked from 9:00am to 4:00pm.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The event started with a short pump-up speech by Jason Roy Gary who is leading the Connections Pink team.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He put us in the right frame of mind for the day: Have Fun, and don’t be afraid to Learn something New.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Inhi Cho Suh dropped by during the day to talk to each of the teams and learn a bit about what they were working on.</p>
  192. <p class="p1">While we didn’t complete our project, it was a great experience, and is one I plan to repeat next year.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I highly recommend everyone give it a try.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It was well organized and well supported.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The only suggestion I have is to do a better job of promoting it in advance, and let people know what the proposed project topics are to generate more interest.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I expect that our team will continue to work on the project to finish it.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>All projects were contributed to OpenNTF at the end of the day so we can all share in the work and innovation produced during the day.</p>
  193. <p class="p1"><strong>OGS Announcements</strong></p>
  194. <p class="p1">This year I am an IBM Champion for the first time.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Champions were featured on the big screen at the OGS before and after the presentations, and it was really exciting to see my face on the big screen.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The OGS was presented in 2 parts, and overall the flow worked well.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The 2nd part was more technical and demo-focused, and as a long-time Notes guy, I was very happy to hear the focus on Notes and what IBM plans for its future.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I can recall recent years where we didn’t hear any talk of Notes and Domino in the OGS, and I am happy that those days are in the past.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Having said that, the modernization strategy that was announced (to use partner tools to build modernized apps) didn’t hit the mark for me, but generally the news was good in terms of future support and enhancements in the product.</p>
  195. <p class="p1">The cognitive capabilities of Watson were featured of course, and this is the future of the product line, make no mistake.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The key is how it integrates, and how we as technology people can make use of the features of Watson.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>We actually did some work in this area in the hackathon, so I got to see it up close.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It will be an area of focus for me as I learn new things this year.</p>
  196. <p class="p1"><strong>IBM Connections Pink</strong></p>
  197. <p class="p1">The other big news was around the future of Connections.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The details around Connections Pink were made public.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>First of all, version 6.0 of Connections will be released by March 31 of this year.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Pink is the next version of Connections, which will be a complete rewrite of the product from the ground up, without WebSphere, Java or DB2!<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Jason Roy Gary told us at the hackathon that he has to personally sign off on any of his engineers wanting to use Java, and he’s a long-time Java developer.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>If anyone thought they might be able to continue their technology career without venturing into the world of Node.js I am here to tell you that will not be possible.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It is an exciting future, making the product much more open and extensible, and of course with a healthy dose of Watson.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I am very interested to see it when it is ready.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>IBM expects to be able to share pieces of the product before the end of 2017.</p>
  198. <p class="p1"><strong>Design Thinking</strong></p>
  199. <p class="p1">At last year’s conference I tried something new and sat in on a Design Thinking session.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I was very happy that I did.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It is a great addition to the conference for IBM to share the approaches that they use to design their products.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The concepts are very simple and it helps to have some coaching from people who have done it before to understand the approach.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I spent time in the design thinking lab again this year and came away equally satisfied.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I came back the next day to just say how I appreciated the time and happened to be there when another attendee was asking about best practices in design thinking and if there were any web resources.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Before any of the IBMers could answer I jumped in with my experience and suggested he take the time to go through one of the exercises as having the personal experience would be far better than reading about it and trying to put it into practice on his own.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>While the concepts are simple, the subtleties in the approach come through when you go through the process for real.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I can’t suggest strongly enough that everyone who attends the conference take the time to visit the Design Thinking lab.</p>
  200. <p class="p1"><strong>Other Observations</strong></p>
  201. <p class="p1">Tuesday ended with the Australia party hosted by Ephox.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The pictures are on social media.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It was the best of the few that I’ve been to by far.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Another one of those things to put on your list of things to do if you’ve never taken one in.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The Wednesday night event, formerly at one of the theme parks in Orlando, was at the Exploratorium in San Francisco.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>While it didn’t have the roller coasters of years past, the venue was fun, actually much larger than I expected, and provided good food, live entertainment, an opportunity to geek out on some fun science experiments, and also offer some quiet space to catch up with friends.</p>
  202. <p class="p1">The Moscone Centre as an event location served well, but it was clear to many Lotusphere veterans quite quickly that we lacked the Dolphin fountain and lobby bar as a common area to meet people.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>There were tables on the second floor of the centre, where the sessions were presented, that people could meet at, but that didn’t provide the place to sit and unwind after the day.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Even the Hilton gave us that last year.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>While we did our best to make our respective networks know where we were meeting up after the sessions of the day, after the day was done you had to go elsewhere.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Also, for me anyway, while SF is in my time zone, I am not sure it is the right city to hold the event.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>There were too many people from Europe who would have normally attended the event who chose not to.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I applaud the reasoning behind trying a new location for the conference, but personally I don’t think holding it in the tech capital of the US added anything.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Also, I am not a fan of Las Vegas.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Just sayin’.</p>
  203. <p class="p1">IBM is curious to know if the conference should go back to the 4-day format.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Without consideration of cost, I whole heartedly vote that it does.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Three days, with the loss of what we will call day 0 to the President’s Day holiday in the US on this particular weekend, just felt like there wasn’t any time to see and do the things I wanted to see and do.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It normally feels that way when it is 4 days, so removing a day the past couple of years has hurt in my opinion.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>While there have always been conflicts, this time they were even greater than in years past and it really sucked to miss out on some important sessions.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Also, for the first time, Gurupalooza had hardly anyone in the audience.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Unfortunately it was up against the lunch hour.</p>
  204. <p class="p1">Another good idea that was a frustration last year and continued to be a frustration this year was the Expo Engagement Theater, located in the Expo hall.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The idea of half hour presentations, with a casual atmosphere is a great idea, and I sat in on a few.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Unfortunately having the “theater” situated right next to the noisy Expo hall with mesh walls and big open doors let in too much crowd noise.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It’s a good idea that should continue; it just needs some improvement.</p>
  205. <p class="p1">Many of the people I talked to didn’t like the food.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Personally I was fine with it.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>While we ate with recyclable plates and utensils, and the lunches were more of the salad and sandwich/wrap variety, I liked how much fruit was available and was never hungry.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Admittedly, the food in the past few years has been excellent, and this was a step down from that.</p>
  206. <p class="p1">Finally, IBM switched the mobile app for the event to an app called ‘IBM Events’.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I found that it worked well.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>One of the fun features was a game where you could score points for building your network, using social media to share what sessions you were seeing, and providing feedback on the sessions you attended.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Anyone who accumulated more than 1000 points was entered into a draw for 3 Apple TVs.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I never heard who won, but it was fun to play.</p>
  207. <p class="p1">There was no announcement about next year’s conference, but clearly based on the questions being asked at the end of the event IBM is considering what to do.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>As many have guessed, it may turn out that we will be combined with other IBM conferences as we’ve seen in the past.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>In fact that specific question was asked and the response was minimal.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>As was the case after last year, we will likely find out the fate of the conference at Engage in Belgium in May.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Wherever it is, it’s now more about the people than the technology for me, although the technology is important, so I look forward to seeing everyone again in 2018.</p>

  341. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Abstract submission is open for the next Cross Canada Collaboration User Group. The deadline is Friday, October 21. The event is on Thursday, November 17.</p>
  342. <p>We have presentation time slots of 45, 30, and 15 minutes, and are inviting 5 minute lightning talks too. We are looking to cram as much good content into 4 hours as we can. Our preference is to have each speaker be at one of our live locations but we will also consider online presentations too.</p>
  343. <p>We have tracks for Development and Infrastructure, Administration, Customer Case Studies and solutions, and IBM Technology. We expect to have a session that highlights announcements from World of Watson.</p>
  344. <p>You can find more information and the abstract submission form at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.c3ug.ca">our web site</a>, powered by Domino and OpenNTF.</p>
