I Love Admins that want to learn here is my SUTOL Session

Having a great time in Prague, last time I was here was either the I AM tour or an LCTY in 2000/2001.

Martin and the SUTOL team did a great job with the event. It was really nice to get to see people I either never met in person or have not seen in a long time. And some of us had been at #soccnx 9 last week in Stuttgart.

It was great to speak to and meet so many admins that really know what they are doing and what to learn and know more. These Admins make it easier to present topics from new viewpoints and appreciate the time we all spend in the trenches.

As it turns out, the night before SUTOL while we are at the local bar we discussed some things around DDM and we agreed things changed, but could not at the time find good details about what and when. Luckily, when we collaborate we find conclusions.

Thanks to Ben Menesi for not only pointing out Domino DDM changed types, but having a screen that shows the changes which I added to my presentation.

I also found a reference to what happened, it changed in 8.0 and this link had this to say:

To view an event message that was generated by a pre-IBM^® Lotus^® Domino^® 7 event generator, open the Monitoring Configuration database (EVENTS4.NSF), and then open the view Advanced -- Message by Text to view how that event message is categorized in DDM. The information on the Basics panel shows the name of the new Event Type and the Old Event Type. In DDM, there are 10 event types and in pre-Domino 7, there are 22 event types. You use the information on the Basics panel to see how the old event types are incorporated into the new event types. For example, this event message has Server as the Event Type and Mail as the Old Event Type

My slides from my session, "DDM, Letting Admins sleep longer and stay at the Pub Later Since 2005" is available on Slideshare. I touch on how to manage non-Domino things and how I get my server and DDM to Tweet me when there are problems, like email is not flowing.

Thank you everyone and hope you enjoyed the session.

Who's Meeting me in Prague at Sutol 2015?

The nice people in charge of SUTOL 2015 in Prague on November 11 have granted me a session at their technical conference.

Thank you Martin Jinoch and team (@sutolcz) for letting this IBM Champion visit and meet everyone!

Luckily for me this year they are not making us present in Czech have opened the event up to English speakers.

With an expected 200 people coming that are Admins or Developers, they expect a nice size audience for the sessions.

My topic, one which I have spoken about at The View Admin and Lotusphere/Connect:

"DDM, Letting Admins Sleep later and stay at Pubs longer since 2005"

I will not be hacking DDM (Domino Domain Monitor) in this session, but we will be covering:
The basics for those who do not use it yet (shame on you!)
Notifications and what to do with them
Pros and Cons to so much knowledge
Tricks and Tips along the way
How to Manage your Exchange Admins or SAP or whatever...even IBM SmartCloud via DDM
Plus more ways to keep yourself happy after hours and on weekends.
Edited: At last I can do something I wanted for some time as an admin that DDM doesn't, but you have to come to hear/see it first.

I will be coming in the day before and leaving late on the 11th so if you need me to visit your office or help you in any way, please let me know in advance.

See you in Prague!

Oh and I ran across this for my fellow non Czech speaking attendees: http://www.fluentin3months.com/why-czech-isnt-as-hard-to-learn-as-you-think/
