Mere days after Sametime 7.5.1 goes Gold,
Julian and Bruce were able to get a hold of Adam
Gartenberg (Offering Manager
for IBM Lotus Real-Time Collaboration) to talk about all the new things
in the Sametime client and server. And boy, are there a lot of new things,
including:
- Video (webcam) integration
- Tabbed chat (configurable and optional)
- Mac Client
- Linux servers (Red Hat and SUSE)
- Office and Outlook integration
- Offline status integrated with Notes
or Outlook calendar (i.e. -- if your calendar says you're in a meeting,
your Sametime status will be set to busy)
- Lots of administrator configuration
options for the client, set on the server
- Sametime
Plugin Catalog and the new
Sametime
Code Exchange

Chris Miller, Julian and Bruce sit down
with David Brigida from IBM and Josh Schrager from VoiceRite
where we talk about something we never have discussed on the podcast -
unified communications and unified messaging.
We start out the show by defining what unified communications and unified
messaging are and then talk about the VoiceRite Client for Sametime 7.5.
We then learn how you never have to pick up the phone to check your
voice mail change greeting since you can do all of that from your Sametime
client. Whether you have an old analog or new Voice over IP PBX from any
where in the world you can see who's calling your voice mail, send an IM
message to Sametime which is spoken to the callers or even transfer the
call to a soft phone or cell phone.
Josh then tells us about VoiceRite's Name
Dialer for Domino which allows
you to have an automated receptionist for your company so that caller to
your company can say the name or department of anyone in your directory
and be automatically transferred to them.
You can also see a demonstration of both products at the VoiceRite pedestal
(number 621) at Lotusphere 2007 in the Product Showcase.

In this Taking Notes podcast, Bruce and
Julian have a fantastic conversation with Adam Gartenberg -- IBM/Lotus
Offering Manager for Real-time and Team Collaboration -- regarding the
upcoming Sametime 7.5 client. We talked about far too many features and
details to list them all here in the show notes (you'll just have to listen
to the podcast ;-), but here are some of the topics we touched on:
- Why is Sametime 7.5 NOT "just another
chat client"?
- What are some of the reasons you'll
want to upgrade from older versions of Sametime?
- Discussion of the new role-based security
architecture
- The new Sametime plugin architecture,
some neat things you can do with it, and talk of a forthcoming online Sametime
Plugin Catalog
- Improvements in the Sametime Meeting
Center
- How will we need to upgrade? Clients
first? Servers first? All at once?
- Options available for telephony and
connectivity to other chat networks via the RTC Gateway
Adam
shared some great details with us, so make sure you listen to the whole
thing. Also, here are a few links related to what we discussed:
And of
course the OpenNTF update with John
Roling.

We're baaaack. ;-)
In this installment of the Taking Notes podcast, Bruce and Julian discuss
topics such as:
- New developments in Notes 7.0.2 as reported
on Ed
Brill's blog, including Notes

Wanda"), blog and RSS templates, and better Smart Upgrade. According
to the Notes
& Domino Insider Newsletter,
7.0.2 is scheduled for release in September, 2006.
- Are the successful user group meetings
becoming annual/quarterly mini-conferences instead of monthly meetings?
- The Hannover design team now has at
least one
blog (Mary Beth Raven) --
is IBM seeking input, or just doing marketing?
- Julian is in the market for a laptop,
and is wondering if the new Lenovo Thinkpads are as durable and sturdy
as the old IBM Thinkpads.

Lepofsky has a great Notes
calendar tip.
And of course the
