Benedek Menesi (Ytria)
Thursday, March 24
16:00 - 17:00
C. Jupiter
Properly logging and monitoring what happens in your Domino environment is critically important for both security and performance. Be it Domino, Sametime, or Traveler operating on-prem. or in hybrid and cloud environments, it is vital to have an understanding of log data structure, what is (or isn't) logged and why, and how to search logs effectively.
In this in-depth session, we'll examine all of these aspects through a discussion of best (and worst) practices regarding user activity, log analysis, security incident investigation, and more—all culled directly from hundreds of customers’ real-world experiences.
You will walk away from this presentation with a solid understanding of your log architecture, the means to set up notifications for when things go wrong, and faster ways to find what you are looking for.

Adm05. Building & Deploying SHA2 Certificates
Gabriella Davis (The Turtle Partnership) @gabturtle
Thursday, March 24
11:30 - 12:30
D. Saturn
Two years ago enabling your site with SSL was a simple affair, buy a certificate or create your own, install it then just remember to renew it every couple of years. Then suddenly security holes are being found in SSL virtually every month , popular browsers stop connecting to your site to protect themselves, and you’re continually being told your users data is at risk. In this session we will discuss how it all went wrong and can go wrong again then go through each step of requesting, generating and deploying a 4096 SHA-2 certificate to use in a keyfile by Domino, IBM Connections, IBM Sametime and other WebSphere products. If you work with these IBM products and need to secure them as strongly as possible this session will show you how."

D. Saturn
The need for automated administration of your Domino environment has never been greater. As administrators focus on new environments, who is taking care of security, user ids and recertifications? Who is managing the creation of IDs for new staff that need access to Domino data and removing access for staff that are leaving? Whether you are investing in your Domino environment or reducing your reliance upon it, you need to manage security, user ids and groups and you need it to be effort free as Domino data often remains mission critical.
HADSL FirM makes user identity provisioning and management easy by automating your business processes and letting you delegate the right tasks to the right people. By automating your processes, new starters, leavers and movers will all be configured correctly, first time, every time. With audit trails and requester / approver workflows you know who did what and with support for SPML and other automated feeds you might not need to load the Admin Client ever again! Automatically manage mobile devices as well as Active Directory users too!
Let the infamous Holder brothers show you how to save time and money by getting your Domino Administration right first time, every time with HADSL FirM!

Dev06. OAuth 2.0 for developers – the technology you need but never really learned
Mikkel Heisterberg (OnTime) @lekkim
Wednesday, March 23
16:00 - 17:00
E. Pluto
OAuth 2.0 has become the defacto way to authenticate to IBM Connections and cloud services such as IBM Connections Cloud, Google and SalesForce and is *the* way to bridge systems. Despite being very powerful surprisingly few IBM Connections developers actually know of it or enough about it. OAuth 2.0 has been in IBM Connections for many releases and allows other services or API programs to impersonate users – and hence work as the user – without the user relinquishing control of their credentials. It’s very powerful stuff. This session acts as a primer on OAuth 2.0 for developers and administrators teaching you the ropes as well as teaching developers how to start utilizing OAuth 2.0 for IBM Connections on-premises as well as for IBM Connections Cloud. If you are developing for IBM Connections this is for you. Be warned – there will be code…

Faster than relational and more robust than document, graph databases are taking the big data world by storm. Every major player in big data is using them for everything from inventory control to intelligence analysis to knowledge discovery to social searching. Now you can apply this same technology to your existing Domino applications without moving or copying any data using the OpenNTF Domino API. See and learn how to apply this exciting new technology to your existing NSF databases, whether one application at a time, or for your entire domain, using both Java and JSON APIs.
Dev08. "Marty, You're Just Not Thinking Fourth Dimensionally": Troubleshooting XPages
Paul Withers (Intec Systems Ltd) @paulswithers
Thursday, March 24
13:30 - 14:30
C. Jupiter
When XPages code doesn't work as expected, often it's because the expectation was wrong. With the various phases of the XPages lifecycle, validation, the various event handler settings, embedding Server-Side JavaScript within Client-Side JavaScript or scoped variables, understanding what's really there when your code wants it is key troubleshooting XPages. This session will help you think fourth dimensionally to better pre-empt the outcomes and troubleshoot when things don't work out like you expect. You'll realise whether or not the bridge over Clayton...Shonash Ravine will be there to ensure your XPages make it Back to the Future.

At the beginning of time, Notes Development was built largely on Forms and Views. While Forms and Views are still the foundation for the modern Notes application, a new kid came on the block a few years ago. One of the most powerful development tools to make its way into Notes development is Eclipse. However, the journey from Forms and Views to Eclipse applications is a rocky one filled with pitfalls and gotchas. To try to demystify the development and installation of an Eclipse Plug-in for Domino, I will provide a sample application start to finish done using Eclipse and Domino.

Eme03. Creating mobile apps: an introduction to Ionic
Mark Leusink (Viaware) @markleusink
Thursday, March 24
09:00 - 10:00
E. Pluto
Using the responsive features you can build XPage applications that look good on desktop and scale to smaller screen devices like phones and tablets. But what if you want to take that one step further and create apps that you can deploy to the app stores and install on your devices? Or access device features that you can't get to from a web app? Using standard web technologies and without having to learn Java, Objective C or Swift? Say hello to Ionic: an open source framework to create mobile hybrid applications.
This session will give you an overview of the Ionic platform. You'll learn what part AngularJS plays in it and what you can build by using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. The session will include all the steps involved in using the platform: from installing the SDK to start writing and testing your first app. I might even do some live coding! I'll share some real world experience in building an app with Ionic using a REST API to store data in Domino and cover some of the challenges I encountered like authentication and offline support.

Body: Salesforce, the current big boy on the block for fast business collaboration and the darling of many a director does things very differently from how the IBM world always has. But in the ways some things are very different, many things are similar. Domino has users, policies, server security, databases, lotusscript and more. What is all that on force.com? In this session 2 pleasant(ish) guides will take you through the jungle from a Domino perspective, point out the clear paths, the most obvious spike traps and where there be tigers!!
Eme05. Live on the Edge of Innovation with IBM Bluemix
Niklas Heidloff (IBM) @nheidloff
Thursday, March 24
08:00 - 08:45
B. Neptune
In this session you will learn about IBM Bluemix, IBM's cloud application platform. I'll introduce some of the Bluemix services, especially services that can be used to build collaborative applications with the typical skills of Domino developers and line of business users who appreciate rapid application development.
Developers should always be looking to improve their technical skills. If you don’t, you, your apps, and your company will be left behind while the rest of the world moves forward. Luckily cloud platforms like IBM Bluemix give developers the means to get started using modern technologies without doing all the hard work to set everything up.
You will see demonstrations how to build collaborative applications with server side JavaScript, NoSQL databases, REST APIs, JavaScript frontends and access control lists, everything with functionality provided in Bluemix: Node.js, Cloudant and MongoDB, Swagger, AngularJS and LoopBack. Additionally I'll explain how to extend these applications with cognitive functionality provided by IBM Watson.

Eme07. Free Beer 13! Think Outside the Sphere: Box for IBM Professionals
Rob Novak (SNAPPS) @IBMRockStar
Wednesday, March 23
17:15 - 18:00
E. Pluto
We've all had that new technology bug once in a while. You know, the one where you get a glimpse of an emerging market or tech and are compelled to play with it. Well the bug has bitten once again, and through a set of coincidences including a strategic partnership with IBM, the recent release of a simple set of APIs, and integration with IBM Connections and IBM Domino and Notes, Box has proven to be a very interesting bug. In this session Rob will explain the Box platform for file sharing and collaboration, discuss the IBM | Box partnership, demonstrate the integration points provided by IBM and partners, detail the security model for admins, and overview the Box Content and View APIs for developers -- all in terms that Domino and Connections folks will understand. As this isn't a vendor session, Rob will also share any pain points and perceived areas for improvement as we explore how IBM professionals can take advantage of the Box platform.

Do you know what your employees need to collaborate effectively? How do you ask the right questions for needs rather than functionality? Do you know the perceived company culture? Your company culture is the start point for your social business journey. Where do you stand now? Where do you need to go? What are the primary focus areas that would work for you? What approach is right for you? Through our specific developed survey held among all employees at your organization you get a better understanding of the perceived company culture and a better way to asses the collaboration need and current status of collaboration practices. From there on we plan your social business journey. We pick one of four specific flavors from Silverside’s 3G adoption approach to set the course that is right for you. We will demonstrate our social business culture test with findings from a customer, representing their company culture as a person, and the path forward to becoming a social business in the adoption approach suited to this culture.
