2 Minutes With...LotusSponsored 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 and about their activities at Lotusphere.

Click on a name below starting January 21, 2007 to listen to these interviews posted live from Lotusphere.

Noy, IBM and Tony, United Nations
This interview was a real treat. Noy was working in the User Experience labs, and Tony is a Lotusphere attendee who was sitting with her getting a first chance to play around with Notes 8. Find out how traffic has been at the UX labs, and what Tony is most excited about his first look at the software.

Alan Lepofsky, IBM
Alan has a very long job title, such that I needed to read it off his card. In the short version, he's a "Lotus evangelist". Find out what Lotus Connections and Second Life have in common, and what Alan's role is in the process. Alan also tells us about his first Lotusphere, in which he actually wasn't supposed to be there. Sneaky Alan!

Mac Guidera, IBM
I was fortunate enough to be able to pluck Mac away from the Deployments, Performance, and Interoperability lab (DPI) for a quick interview. Mac talks with me about what he's working on (hint: DXL), and what you need to pay attention to this Lotusphere! As always, Mac's a great guy to talk to and I enjoyed the interview.

Rob Wunderlich, IBM
I was all set to put this in the "Guru" section, and then I find out that Rob went to work for IBM in November! Congrats Rob! He tells me all about his session, and also his area of expertise. It's a good one (hint: you can read about it on your Blackberry or PDA) - there's no wonder why IBM wanted him!

Susan Bulloch, IBM
Last year when Libby Ingrassia interviewed *me* for my "2 minutes with" interviews, she asked me who had been a big influence on me. I mentioned Susan as one of my "Notes Chickies". Now the tables are turned and I got to interview Susan. She's a busy woman, running around fixing software, doing presentations and running labs. But hear what she has to say on her biggest dilemma. It's one that affects you, too. Thank goodness Susan is on the case!
