I’ve been using source control and git flow for a long time. Indeed I delievered a session with Declan Lynch at Lotusphere 2014 on source control. (If you want all 337 slides at over 17Mb, here is the download. If you prefer videos, I did a NotesIn9 covering the SourceTree part.) A blog post would …
We are proud to confirm that Intec are now sponsors of OpenNTF, with our Domino Next Step Hub, an area focused on what Domino and Intec can offer. It’s an exciting time for the products that Intec have worked with for a long time. And it’s the right time for a renaissance also for open …

I say that because it was innovative not only in technology, but openness, open technologies adopted and showcased, design thinking approach, integration and most importantly user experience. It may be gone for good, …

He was applying for academic positions but uncertain where his long-term future applied. He started at a company which used Lotus Notes for a CRM planning events …
This week I’ve spent a hugely beneficial amount of time at the HCL Factory Tour Episode 2. As with the previous factory tour, the ability to get quality time with key individuals from HCL and IBM, as well as not only hear but feed back on progress is invaluable. Before going I’d also intended to …
