December and January at OpenNTF

Jesse Gallagher | 22 hours ago | Comments
One of the things I/we’d like to do at OpenNTF is to compose some summary posts of recent goings-on as appropriate, and this is as good a time as any to kick that off.

(Admittedly, earlier this month would have been a bit better of a time, but it’s been a busy start of the year.)

Project Updates

December saw the introduction of two wholly-new projects on the site:

Search HCL Notes Desktop

This project is an intriguing exercise in using some of the capabilities of the Domino JNA project to do a neat trick in the Notes client. Specifically, it uses Domino JNA’s ability to trawl your workspace to find databases and performs a search across them. This can be much nicer than the global search Notes normally provides, in that this will be your specific set of workspace applications.

You can find the project here.

Team Documents

This project is a new Notes client application, useful for coordinating documents among your team. It highlights the traditional benefits of using Notes quite well, and is ready packaged to be deployed to your server.

You can find the project here.

Webinars and Repair Cafés

Last month, we hosted our now-traditional end-of-year get-togethers for the community on Discord, and this month we’re resuming our Repair Café and Webinar schedule.

Our webinar will take place on January 18th and will be a Deep Dive into Debugging Domino with the Divas and “the Dude”. To find out more, visit the blog post or go to register.

Our Repair Café this month, for any topics, will be on the 25th in our Discord. All are welcome, whether or not you have an immediate problem - we encourage people to talk about interesting problems they solved recently, ask for opinions, or generally discuss the technologies we use.

We have a solid slate of webinars scheduled already pretty much through the end of the year, and we heartily encourage you to join us.

January Webinar: Deep Dive into Debugging Domino with the Divas and “the Dude”

Jesse Gallagher | 1 week ago | Comments
Debugging Domino has many facets. This session will delve into the do’s and don’ts when debugging Domino, whether it be administration issues or application issues. Don’t panic, instead come to this session. Learn from these industry experts who have spent many years debugging and resolving real-world problems in almost every aspect of Domino you can imagine.

This session will walk you through where to start, how to avoid common mistakes, the significance of properly scoping problems, essentials for troubleshooting administration or application design issues, how to work hand-in-hand with HCL support and demonstrate the full life cycle of effective incident management and resolution. This fast-paced session will provide MANY MANY examples along the way as we go through the journey of successful debugging and problem resolution.

You will gain insights into what should be regularly monitored and why this is advantageous and essential for problem identification and resolution. You will also learn why documentation is crucial to any successful debugging and how paramount communication is when chaos ensues.

Put your “learning hats” on, it’s going to be an adventurous ride!

This webinar will take place on January 18th from 11:00 AM (New York time) to 12:30 PM.
