2 Minutes With...Lotus Sponsored by:

The 2 Minutes With... Podcast Interviews give you the chance to hear what other members of the Lotus community have to say. In 2 Minutes With...Lotus, we talk to the ones who make it all happen — the Loti. They're creating and working with this product we make our careers on. We ask them about it, about their activities at Lotusphere, about what's to come, and more.

Our 2 Minutes With Lotus segment begins with our pre-Lotusphere interview with Bob Picciano, General Manager for Lotus Software at IBM. Then, we'll be adding additional interviews as Lotuspher approaches, throughout the week of Lotusphere, and a few follow-up interviews too. So be sure to sign up for the RSS feed or check back often for new interviews.
