Yesterday was a pretty full day and attended some good sessions. Of particular note was my visit with Martin Donnelly about a calendar view for XPages. He was battling with a nightly build of Lotus Domino Designer so he was to say the least experiencing some issues, coupled with a software update being pushed to his computer, the experience left me a little wanting to say the least. As I told Martin there are 7000 people at LotusPhere and only a handful of IBM developers and everyone wants time with them, so I understood his predicament.

I also met Declan Lynch down in the product showcase and we spoke about BlogSphere a little bit. He welcomed me to put the changes I made to BlogSphere on my blog, so expect to see the changes, typo corrections and bug fixes I've made to BlogSphere here in the coming weeks.

As for sessions, Declan's "Make your XPages POP with CSS and Themes" was an excellent session in which a lot of information was put out which really showed off the power of themes. The "Project Management: Jedi Mind Tricks" session was also good with a lot of information on tracking the status of your project and more of asking the right questions and discovering what your customer "really" wants.

Today the session load is quite light. I've got the "Import! Export! Write a Report!! Access Lotus Notes Data in ways of all sorts!" session here at 10:00 which should be good and then GuruPalooza and another meeting with Martin whose machine is hopefully all sorted out now

Unfortunately I will not be staying for the Closing General Session as I must leave to catch my bus to the airport at 2:30, but LotusPhere 2010 has been excellent. I enjoyed meeting all the bloggers, attendees and 99% of the sessions. Hopefully I can make it back in the next couple of years. But going by my track record it'll be longer. So, for those of you who can stay, I hear the Closing General Session is always really good and recommended to attend and an excellent wrap up to LotusPhere.
