By Gabriella Davis | 5/16/19, 1:25 PM | Infrastructure - Connections | Added by Oliver Busse

I have just returned from Engage UG – Theo Heselmans’ European conference, this year held at Autoworld in Brussels. A beautiful location, even for someone who cares little for cars (but enjoys belgian beer, frites and chocolate).

Whooomf – All Change. HCL Buys The Shop…  

By Gabriella Davis | 12/7/18, 1:30 AM | Infrastructure - Connections | Added by Oliver Busse

According to this Press Release as of mid June 2019, HCL take ownership of a bunch of IBM products including Notes, Domino and Connections on premises. Right now and since late 2017 there has been a partnership with IBM on some of the products such as Notes, Domino, Traveler and Sametime* so this will take IBM out of the picture entirely.

Last week I attended and presented at MWLUG in Alexandria, VA. This was my third MWLUG event and the biggest so far. Lots of great and varied content, I even went to a couple of developer sessions, thanks to Richard Moy and the rest of the MWLUG team for putting on another great show.

By Gabriella Davis | 6/27/16, 4:50 PM | Infrastructure - Connections | Added by Oliver Busse

When installing Textbox.io, one of the rich text editors for Connections 5.5 from Ephox, you have the option post install to configure a spellchecker. It’s actually a very nice feature that spellchecks on the fly in any rich text field within connections.

By Gabriella Davis | 5/24/15, 8:40 PM | Infrastructure - Connections | Added by Oliver Busse

I wanted to share a recurring WebSphere bug that I noticed over a year ago because although it was irritating then, if it occurs now it can actually prevent you from deploying Connections external users the way you want. Here's the scenario (and it's fairly common for me). IBM Connections 5 CR2 on WebSphere 8.5.5…
