On Tuesday, October 13th we held our second BLUG meeting.

After a big turnup at our first big event earlier this year, we were encouraged to continue with your BLUG.



Around 80 people showed up, which was pretty good !
Thanks for coming. We had the impression that most of you enjoyed it;
both the session and the networking afterwards.
I hope you all see that Mary Beth Raven was not a bad choice at all !
Energetic as ever, she walked us through here presentation, covering most of the new stuff in Notes and Domino Designer.
To download the presentations, see below.
The Q&A session also proved to be interesting.
BTW, the Archiving problem that was mentioned, is fixed in 8.5.1.
Mary Beth got this answer real time via Sametime, from the developers !
