| Announcing the Admin Blast Jump-Start! | Domino Security, Tuning, Integration and Performance, with Gabriella Davis and Chris Miller
AUSLUG is pleased to bring to Melbourne a new 2 day in-depth technical seminar aimed at Domino administrators. Presented by noted speakers and IBM Champions Gabriella Davis and Chris Miller, the AUSLUG Administration Jumpstart will cover the latest approaches to security, id management, performance tuning, single sign on, directory integration and more.

If you need to learn how to configure ID Vault or DAOS, how to secure your servers against SMTP exploits, how to plan and complete a server upgrade or how to use Active Directory for all your passwords, how to tune your network, server settings, polices and disk. All of that will be covered over the 2 days and much more.

It's time to “phone a friend” We have done a lot of promotion but we know not everyone has heard of AusLUG, so can you take five minutes and contact someone you know, encourage them to register and come along. We are close to capacity but there is always room for more! |
| Check out the Agenda! | | Over the weekend we published the full agenda for AusLUG 2011. All of the sessions have now been finalised and we are looking forward to bringing you 2 fantastic days of sessions and events.

| Featured Session: 'The Race for the Mobile Enterprise' with Peter Carr of analyst firm Longhaus | | With the days of the flagship desktop service now gone forever many CIOs have struggled to move on. The very crux of the old-world desktop model was email. Its religious-style debates shaped enterprise thinking and product selection since the turn of the century. But today many organisations are unwittingly using old-world debates to make new-world decisions about core enterprise strategy based on email provider churn. But email is now just one part in an extended collaborative continuum and businesses are realising all too late that “next generation collaboration” nirvana is unachievable by simply changing email platforms. Today the journey for true enterprise-collaboration begins with an underlying network capability leading to three (3) core strategic paths: - The IP Communication Strategic Path;
- The IP Telephony Strategic Path;
- and The IP Collaboration Strategic Path.
In this presentation, Longhaus will unpack each phase of the new collaboration continuum to expose the weaknesses and roadblocks presented by a messaging-centric strategy. Using Australian data and market examples from both 2001 and 2011 Longhaus will discuss achievable end-games depending on the specific technology decisions being made. The presentation will outline how enterprises must undertake business value assessments of the underlying technology platforms for either IP-Communications or IP-Collaboration approaches which typically split enterprise decision makers and leave the ICT organisation with budgets for legacy email-focused procurement rather than long-term vision. |
| Are you still coming? | | We really look forward to seeing you at AusLUG 2011, but if you are not coming would you mind logging into your profile on the web-site and cancelling your registration. We want as many people as possible to attend the conference and places are limited. |

| Auslug August 8 2011 02:40:49 PM"Meet. Share. Learn." The Australian IBM/Lotus Community comes together for a major event. The Australian Lotus User Group (AusLUG) organising committee today announced the details for their upcoming AusLUG 2011 conference. AusLUG's President, Mat Newman, said: "The committee is pleased to announce that the biggest IBM/Lotus event for over a decade in Australia will be held in Sydney on August 29th and 30th this year". "We have secured some of the biggest names in the IBM/Lotus community from IBM, Business Partners and Customers to speak at the conference. Our aim is to bring some of the magic from Lotusphere - the huge annual IBM conference held in Orlando, Florida - to an Australian audience." Newman was keen to point out that this was not a marketing event, "As you look through the Agenda, Sessions and Speakers, you will see that this is a event with a heavy business focus, aligned to the needs of Australian businesses. Developers and Administrators are well catered for with informative sessions, while IT managers and CIO's will be able to gain hard evidence to support their decision making processes with regard to the planning, implementation and utilising the IBM collaboration solutions software portfolio. There is something on the agenda for everyone involved with, interested in, or requiring a better understanding of IBM software." "Sessions not only cover the familiar Lotus software suite, but also include details on implementing and using technologies that are trending industry buzz words: Social, Mobile and Cloud. IBM solutions in these areas are cutting edge, and IBM is the acknowledged market leader in the business Social segment with IBM Connections." Newman said, he continued: "the sessions we have on our agenda will help IT decision makers not only understand the impact these technologies can have on their business - from those who are already using them - but also how to empower their staff and customers with real solutions that are ready for business". In addition we will be delivering some key training tack-ons that will allow the Australian community to get hands on training from leaders in the field, at a small cost. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, AusLUG will be free for registered attendees. AusLUG will re-enforce IBMs' premier status on the business social scene and will re-invigorate and re-assure existing Lotus users that this is a product range with an exciting future.
