Lepo-palooza Photos
Last Wed, some friends from Lotus and I gathered to "celebrate my latest adventure". (my code for leaving IBM) It was a wonderful evening, filled with memories and great conversations. To ensure that I never forget Lotus, the gang presented me with a giant box of Lotus schwag which contained clothing, a killer letter opener, stress balls, puzzles, coffee warmers, mouse pads, a gorgeous Disney wine bottle stopper, and a dozen other items. I think every part of my life can now have a Lotus logo on it!
I was also presented with a certificate of membership into the Geeky Order of Notes Admins and Developers, as its 100th member! Thank you very much Steve, and everyone else who made that possible.
Click here for the photos that ended up on my camera. I think you'll like a few of the captions. ;-)
I know several people were taking pictures, so if you could please share those with me, I'd appreciate it. A lot of people who were there are not in the shots I have, so hopefully you captured them. Carl, David, and Jeremy for example... what do Sametime people not show up on film? Tom D, that little side conversation we had, I'll deny all of it!
So thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who worked to put this together. Especially Mary Beth Raven and Erica Topolski for starting this, everyone that donated to the giant yellow box, and those that traveled into Cambridge on a rainy night to make the event. I know a lot of people could not attend, but thank you for all the emails, ims, and tweets.
Don't worry, this is not the end, just a new beginning. The Notes tips will still be coming, and hopefully the track managers for Lotusphere 2009 will accept my "Lotus Notes 8.x Tips and Tricks" presentation!
