Engage 2025 – my impressions | Roberto Boccadoro 
By Roberto Boccadoro | 5/27/25, 1:44 PM | Business - Events / People | Added by Oliver Busse
As usual I attended Engage, and as usual it was a very good event.
It was the first one not organized by Theo Heselmans, but Kris and Tom did a great job. I believe Engage is in good hands for the future.
The location was nice, though not very eccentric like the ones Theo has used in the past, the New Babylon conference center; it had the advantage of being right in front of the Central Station, so getting there was a no-brainer, and the hotel I choose, like many others, was just around the corner, literally.
Engage 2024 – Some random reflections
By Roberto Boccadoro | 5/3/24, 6:43 PM | Business - Events / People | Added by Oliver Busse
This time it was the Handelsbeurs, the old stock exchange. Is a Gothic building, really extraordinary. I did not take pictures, but my good friend Hogne Bo Pettersen did and on the Engage website you will find a link to his great job and pictures taken by others. He told me “it doesn’t happen every day that you can take a picture of a speaker with the background from Game of Thrones”. This should give you an idea of the location we were.
Do you have any suggestions for OpenNTF ?
By Roberto Boccadoro | 10/28/22, 12:23 PM | Business - Events / People | Added by Oliver Busse
AS probably you know OpenNTF has a Discord server, that everyone can join, where there are several “channels” (I know that the term is not correct) in which people can talk about specific topics. We have just added one, “#suggestion-box” where everyone is encouraged to go if they have any idea on what OpenNTF should do.
The OpenNTF Discord Server
By Roberto Boccadoro | 6/16/22, 8:16 AM | Business - Events / People | Added by Matteo Bisi
A few months ago, OpenNTF started testing the waters of moving our Slack community over to Discord. The immediate impetus for this was the message-history limitation of our Slack account: on the free tier, we were losing old messages, but upgrading a community of our size to a paid tier would be cost-prohibitive.
Once we started looking into using Discord, we found that it offered much more for us than just avoiding history loss. Discord quickly proved itself a much-better match for our community, with better community controls, better voice/video chat with screen sharing, and just generally a more community-focused approach.
Joining
Since it’s gone so smoothly in a “soft launch”, we think it’s ready to invite everyone more openly. To join our Discord community, visit:

“Official answers”
By Roberto Boccadoro | 7/8/21, 9:52 AM | Business - Events / People | Added by Oliver Busse
I often get a request from a customer if I can give them an “official answer” say, to a request if a feature is available or not. For example recently I had such a request whether something that was doable in iNotes was doable also in Verse.

I will speak at CollabSphere 2020
By Roberto Boccadoro | 10/20/20, 11:07 AM | Business - Events / People | Added by Oliver Busse
CollabSphere 2020 is another community event that had to turn from in-person to online due to Covid-19. The bad side of this you already know, the good side is that being online now you can attend all these events without the need to travel, is always nice to save money, and also attendance is free.
Do you know Collaboration Today ? | Roberto Boccadoro

If you are reading my blog, it means you are probably an IT professional working with, or interested in, HCL products. So I have a question for you: to keep up to date with what is happening in this space, what do you do ?
Andrea Fontana 1964 – 2020
By Roberto Boccadoro | 8/17/20, 3:20 AM | Business - Events / People | Added by Oliver Busse
This is a post I would have never wanted to write. As many of you know by now, our friend Andrea Fontana tragically passed away in an accident with his motorcycle last saturday, Aug 15.
Community written guides on OpenNTF wiki
By Roberto Boccadoro | 7/10/19, 4:42 AM | Business - Events / People | Added by Oliver Busse
In the collaboration community, a.k.a yellowverse, the need for step-by-step product guides, installation, tuning, etc… has always been present, not because the official documentation is bad, but because if you follow it, you have to jump from a place to another in order to finish the installation of a product. See for example the installation of Connections where the Knowledge Base tells you “install DB2” and points you to the DB2 KB, then “install WAS” and points you to the WAS KB, and so on.
