Domino Keep, an modern API for Domino

OpenNTF organised a webinar in July 2021 showcasing Domino Keep which we had the pleasure of attending.
Many of the improvements that HCL brought to the Domino/Notes stack has “catching up”: mostly self-evident improvements from accumulated feedback from domino developers.
These improvements, though, have until now been unable to break the “yellow bubble”: Companies still needs extremely specialized developers and admins if they want to change anything or create anything in their Domino infrastructure.

Nathan T. Freeman passed away on 12th April 2021.
He was one of the gurus of the Notes/Domino developer community, very much at the cutting edge of technology and always pushing the boundaries of what was possible with our beloved Notes stack. An early adopter of XPages, he was one of the first to show that one could significantly improve the quality of the XPages applications by concentrating on pure Java Development (which was unfortunately hidden under the covers of XPages), and also one of the first ones to eschew it.

Theo Heselmans and his wife Hilda have once again pulled off a wonderful event in Brussels. The world’s biggest ICS conference attracted attendees from all over the world, from as far away as New Zealand, Japan, the U.S.A and even La Réunion.
HCL Factory Tour 2 – a look into the pipeline for Domino/Notes
By Andrew Magerman | 3/1/19, 5:54 AM | - | Added by Oliver Busse
The HCL Team, lead by Richard Jefts, was kind enough to invite me to its second Factory Tour, this time in Europe, in the HCL offices in Milan, in Italy. Milan is just a 3.5 hour trip in the train from Zürich, going through the new Gotthard tunnel, so it was an almost leisurely travel, compared to the trip to Boston last year.
Deep dive into HCL’s strategy for Domino/Notes

HCL was kind enough to invite me to their CWP factory tour themed from the story Charlie and the Chocolate factory, held in Chelmsford, Massachussetts on July 11-12 2018. We already knew from Engage and DNUG that Richard Jefts has no qualms in donning a silly costume, but seeing Jason Gary as an Oompa-Loompa was truly memorable. We now have photos and a means to blackmail them.

Engage 2018 was the best Engage I’ve ever attended. Not only was the organisation and venue superlative, but the recent energy of the new HCL team was infectious.
Insights into Machine Learning at Jazoon

Jazoon is a tech conference in Zürich which manages to bring brilliant speakers to talk about a particular subject - on Friday, 27th October 2017 it was Artificial Intelligence. [...] One of the surprises for me was to learn that essentially, most of the artificial intelligence/Machine learning software is open source.
From 3000 milliseconds to 200 to open a page: Speed up your Notes Client applications by discovering their bottlenecks
By Andrew Magerman | 11/30/16, 10:23 AM | - | Added by Oliver Busse
I had inherited a template for a database which was taking 3 seconds to open any sort of document. It soon got to be irritating, and I noticed that the little lightning bolt at the bottom left side of the Notes client was flashing wildly, so I fired up the Notes RPC Parser to try and see what was all the traffic about.
Visually document the dependency tree of Script Libraries in your database with one click

The two ugly sisters of software quality are documentation and testing. Both are sure-fire indicators of how easy a piece of software is going to be to maintain. They are not sexy, though, and most customers or end users don't care about them. Nor pay for them. Bad documentation and missing testing routines makes their hit on quality insidiously.
