Joe,

Thanks. Our next step is convince David that SOA might have value.... :-)

BTW, to add to the System i part of Lotusphere, IBM is making a preview of an IP Telephony announcement - only available on System i. IBM has several events around Lotusphere to market this - including here: http://www.isociety.org/Symphony.html

On that note, I did get an interesting approach from a VOIP vendor last week. They are finding it hard to sell their vision of SOA with VOIP and were wondering how they might get some attention.

Subject: The Future of the System i - the Domino theory


My brother (yes, there is a brother in Pluta Brothers) is currently down at
the Lotusphere convention.  As you might expect, IBM is really pushing a
convergence of Domino and WebSphere, and there is a lot of interesting
direction there regarding the use of Eclipse as the base platform for
developing powerful portal-based Lotus applications.

What you might NOT have expected is that IBM seems to be moving away from
Windows as a server for Domino.  Instead, they seem to really be pushing
System i as the platform of choice for running Domino shops.  Now, this is
just my brother's empirical sense from having gone through the jump start
sessions, but he says the message is pretty clear: if you want Domino, you
want the System i as your platform.

And Trevor gets some well-deserved vindication in that the connection
between Domino and legacy applications is really the most specific SOA
message I've heard to date.  He doesn't have a ton of specifics yet, and I
hope to get more information over the coming weeks, but the new version of
Domino has a very high-level concept of "producers" and "consumers" and
that's where legacy code will fit.

In any case, the moral of the story is that if you want to push the System
i, you definitely should be backing the Domino pony.
