Ed Brill´s Vortrag auf der MWLUG 2011
Quelle: John D. Head
Auf der MWLUG ( Midwest Lotus User Group ) Konferenz wurde von Ed Brill die Zukunft von Lotus Notes vorgestellt, die sich folgendermaßen liest:
1. Notes & Domino 8.5.4 is coming in 2012
Ed
talked about the next release of the product, 8.5.4. This will be
primarily a maintenance release, in contrast to 8.5.1, 8.5.2, and 8.5.3.
It will introduce some back-end services needed for the next news item.
2. Notes Next is coming in 2012 - and it won't be called 9
A
feature pack is coming in 2012 that will bring the Project Vulcan and
Social Business experiences to the Notes client. It will also elevate
the web and mobile experience to be 1st class citizens in the client
world. We got to see the current version of the UI - and it's very
LotusLive looking. The big piece of info is that IBM has picked a name
for this release. It's not 9. The name will most likely be announced at
Lotusphere.
3. LotusLive Symphony coming in 2012 with an on premises version as well
IBM
will be releasing their on-line collaborative editors in 2012 as part
as LotusLive. That was no surprise. The big news is that there will be
an on-premises version of this release next year as well. That means you
can run the web editors on a server inside your firewall. Lotus
Connections will most likely be the back-end server required to run
this. Mitch Cohen asked me via Twitter if this meant Lotus Connections would get the embedded editors for
content editing. Ed's answer was yes, but not likely in the first
release.
4. The Future of the Notes Basic Client
One
of the questions that Ed got was 'What is the future of the Notes Basic
Client?" - the non- Eclipse.org version of the Notes client. Ed said
that it would still be present in 8.5.4 but would not get the new UI and
functionality that the Notes Next (just like the Notes 8 Basic did not
get DDE, XPages, or the Eclipse User Interface). But what surprised
everyone was when he said that there was an internal research project to
make the Notes Basic client work as a browser plug-in. This would allow
Notes client applications (not composite apps or XPages) in a browser.
He didn't go into details and was very clear that this was not a
commitment to ship anything. But that is a great use of the Notes Basic
client if it ever sees the light outside the IBM Research labs.
Mit diesen Ankündigungen wird es sicher ein sehr interessantes Jahr 2012 für die Lotus-Gemeinde werden.
Wir werden auf der Lotusphere vom 15. - 19. Januar 2012 sicher sehr gute Vorträge in dieser Richtung hören
und stellen Ihnen dann gerne auch die Informationen wieder zur Verfügung.
