13:45 From SMTP via WFP to Pulse
Erno de Korte
First we will start with a short review of all the good things that SMTP has brought us - all over the world this is the standard communication protocol for billions of people. Then we will introduce more recent technologies like WFP (Wave Federation Protocol), which is at the core of the Google Wave project and Novell's involvement in this exciting new technology. Last but not least we will discuss the stuff which is still in the pipeline, with hopefully a live demo of the new and exciting Novell Pulse project...

The Novell File Management Suite
Ron van Herk
All IT Administrators have one thing in common, they all manage an infrastructure that is used to store information. But do you know what is stored in your environment, are you able to search for duplicate files in your environment or report on all files from before 2003? What do you do with user home-directories after a user has left the organization, or if they move within the organization? This session will discuss the new Novell File Management Suite and during this session we'll show you how the File Management Suite can make the life of an IT organization a lot more easy.
     
15:30

Knowing the state of your systems is essential in keeping it manageable and available to your users. Knowing problems before users notice them is a key factor in establishing a trustworthy IT environment. We'll show you how to use the open source nagios monitoring tool in conjunction with other tools like GroupWise monitor and custom scripts, to monitor your systems.

Come and see how mail, calendar data, contacts, webpages, RSS and much more are all brought together in a much more intuitive.
