In November of 2019 our beloved Lotus/IBM/HCL Notes and Domino turned 30 years old. Ever wonder how a particular feature was created or who decided why something should work a particular way? Come join us for a trip down memory lane. Jason has been centric to the development of the software since its earliest days and will be sharing stories from Iris, IBM and HCL. Rocky Oliver and Bob Balaban will be part of the fun and share in the telling of product development history. As a technology consultant, business partner, IBM Champion and HCL Ambassador, Heather has been around the software for over 26 years, collecting a variety of experiences worth telling. Also, as a bonus Rob Novak of SNAPPS will explain why the Notes port is 1352.
