As promised here is my recap of Lotusphere Idol, would have loved to blog live, but the laptop battery just was not cooperating.
First off congratulations to all the contestants on a job well done. Ed Brill did an excellent job as the host.
Alan Lepofskys cameo appearance as Dr. Paul Buchan-Elgort was shall we say memorable, and well educational if you are interested in Locust
The only downside for Alan was I suspect he had trouble finding someone to dine with tonight after spending a considerable amount of time discussing the finer points of eating Locust.
The contestants all turned in excellent performances leaving the judges with a tough decision to make, so tough in fact that they decided to award two winners who will each get 30 minutes to present on Thursday morning.
Congratulation to Nate Lowry & Matt Rosno from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln for their winning presentation on creating a Symphony plug in for Sharepoint, and to Andrew Brew for his presentation titled "Replaceable Parts"
One final thought from the session over the years I have hear many times how is Lotus going to reach out to the younger generation and get them involved in Lotus Technology, I think having a pair of 21 year old college students at Lotusphere on stage presenting work they developed for Symphony is a pretty good sign.
