Where are all the young’uns are?

Throughout the week of Lotusphere 2009 I heard the same question asked over and over again: “Where are all the people under 25?”  Looking around the show, I saw a lot and a lot of familiar faces.  These are the people I’ve been meeting and seeing here, in Orlando, year after year.  I’ve watched the [...]

Open positions at PSC

I should’ve mentioned this a lot sooner…
Several months ago I posted notices that I was looking to add a Lotus Notes/Domino consultant and an administrator to the PSC team. Since then I received an unbelievable number of responses from all over the world.  And I continue to do so until this day.
