Knowledge is not power, but learning is. As kids, we made art with paint-by-number kits. Simply matching the outline numbers with an oil paint gave us the illusion of mastery. I've worked in all facets of the IT industry: as IT management, as a consultant, systems adminstrator, developer and instructor. And, I still see a lot of paint-by-number projects which try to be the real thing. IT leadership is about reading the numbers, then going outside the lines and taking risks.

Lotusphere PDFs Have Been Released

Category IBM/Lotus

About time. IBM has released the Lotusphere '05 sessions, in PDFs. I haven't looked over each item, but it looks as though they have published the majority of sessions.

What better way to spend your slow summer days?

UPDATE:

Apparently the hosting of PDFs by IBSYS has not been done with the clear approval from IBM. Many of the session authors are upset about the publication of their material without explicit permission. I also noticed that IBSYS also has Lotusphere PDFs for the '02 and '03 conferences.

5 - May I suggest that you refrain from thanking the hosts until we find out whether this site is authorized by IBM? There are potentially serious copyright issues if it was not.

4 - Tom: I didn't even realize there was a form to fill out until Rich pointed it out. My Firefox settings just went directly to the PDFs page. However, I do intend to thank the hosts.

2 - Hm. Well, the notice was posted in the IBM/Lotus BP forum and I assumed it was under the sponsorship of IBM. My wife likes to remind me that "assume" makes and ass out of "u" and "me." But, I defer to you, Rich, I don't really know if they are hosting these on behalf of IBM, or merely being allowed to do it.

For those that weren't able to attend, I'm glad they are seeing wider publication.

Thanks, Rich

1 - That's not an IBM site. Seems to me that it's an IBM BP who has taken it upon himself to post the PDFs, with registration required and banner ads.
