I'm delighted to report that the first IT in Action event (presented by Open Horizons) hit Scotland today for the first time ever, at the John McIntyre Conference Centre in Edinburgh. Amongst the sessions were presentations on Identity Manager 4, From SMTP to Novell Pulse, a live migration of NetWare to Linux (which went flawlessly!) as well as partner presentations from Novell, Messaging Architects, GWAVA and NDS8.

 

With the feedback we've got back so far, the desire is there for us to return north of the border, which we will hopefully be doing some time in the near future. As for now, the roadshow moves further south to Bletchley Park next Wednesday 7th July. There is still time to register, but places are going very quickly. To register, visit this page.

 

The content remains the same, and we hope to see you there! If not, registration has now opened for the UK Summit and Hot Labs on the 12th and 13th October at Horwood House in Milton Keynes. Go here to register for that event.

 

Novell Conferencing—a cost-effective, easy-to-use web conferencing solution—is now available.

Novell Conferencing helps organizations reduce travel costs by instantly sharing documents, web pages, whiteboards, audio and video—even recording meetings—without any participant software to install. Novell Conferencing is also the only solution that integrates with Novell GroupWise. While users are in their GroupWise mailbox, they can simply click on a Novell Messenger (formerly GroupWise Messenger) icon to schedule or instantly launch a web conference.

Today, on April 30, on request of may people within the communit ("You are late this year?!") we have opened the registration for the EMEA Summit 2010, which will run in Vienna (AT) from Sunday November 28 until Wednesday December 1. And within a few minutes the first registration was already made by Peter Wachs  (DE) - finally after 5 years he has beaten Hans Prim (SE) in being "Number One"! 

The open technology preview Novell announced at BrainShare U.S. has been extremely successful. As of April 19, Novell had 1,522 downloads and very productive discussion taking place in the Novell forums. As a reminder, the technology preview--as well as available supporting resources--can be found at http://www.novell.com/mobilitypreview. 

Do you have machines in your Novell Customer Care Center that come up as unknown or just do not look right? Have a look at this tip from Norm O'Neal, as he describes a quick way to fix this situation. By the way, Norm is the president of Open Horizons - US Midwest, a NUI chapter which recently decided to "convert" to Open Horizons - congratulations to Norm and his crew - keep up the good work!

 

Novell BrainShare is back and not just once, but twice. Novell surprised many of us when announcing that in 2010 their great BrainShare event will not only run in Salt Lake City (US) in March, but also in Europe. And more precisely, in wonderful Amsterdam (NL), a city full of surprising views, museums, music and much more. Of course the Open Horizons community will be very involved with this event and together with Novell we are planning quite a few surprising activities before and during this event.
