ne of the things I/we’d like to do at OpenNTF is to compose some summary posts of recent goings-on as appropriate, and this is as good a time as any to kick that off. (Admittedly, earlier this month would have been a bit better of a time, but it’s been a busy start of the year.) December saw the introduction of two wholly-new projects on the siteWebinars and Repair Cafés Last month, we hosted our now-traditional end-of-year get-togethers for the community on Discord, and this month we’re resuming our Repair Café and Webinar schedule.

A few weeks ago, HCL released Notes and Domino 12.0.2, bringing with them a number of good features for users, developers, and administrators. To go along with these changes, the community at OpenNTF released new versions of several projects within a few days.

This blog presents the questions from the April 2022 OpenNTF webinar on What's New in Domino Designer and the answers from our speaker, Ulrich Krause. Thanks for all the great questions! Note that some questions were outside the scope of what Ulrich could respond to and were omitted(like HCL product plans...).

In this webinar Ulrich Krause will introduce these new classes, methods and properties. Ulrich is an administrator and developer, and has been working with Lotus Notes/Domino since 1993. He is employed by midpoints GmbH. Ulrich is widely known in the industry as a moderator in the forum atnotes.de and as a speaker at national and international conferences. He has been an IBM Champion from the very beginning and is currently an HCL Ambassador.

Back in 2021 there was a question in the community about where to find old Lotusphere presentations, and one of the comments at the time was that it would be cool if OpenNTF hosted those presentations. We made note of it at the time, and have done some research specific to copyrights. We’ve also expanded our thinking beyond Lotusphere! We would like to call on the community to join us and build an app that will host presentations on OpenNTF. They may be file attachments, or links to presentations that have been posted elsewhere, including your own blog if you like.

Jesse and Graham have created a series of videos over on our YouTube channel to highlight the features included in the XPages Jakarta EE Support project. Jesse was inspired to create this project by work from Martin Pradny, so thanks go out to Martin for the inspiration! The XPages Jakarta EE Support project adds new technologies from Jakarta EE and MicroProfile to NSF-based development inside Domino Designer. The project page includes comprehensive documentation of the new features. You can also review the project GitHub page for more details.

Come join us and learn how OpenNTF projects can maximize Domino in your organization. In this webinar we will spotlight several popular projects. Whether you are a developer, admininstrator or manager you will see how these projects can maximize your return on your Domino investment.
