A huge announcement from Mike Rhodin while demonstrating Notes "Hannover" at DNUG/IBM Lotus Technical Conference keynote- The Notes "Hannover" release will include spreadsheet/presentation/word processing productivity tools supporting the newly ratified Open Document Format .  "We are going to provide an open alternative".  Here is a screen shot of this in action (More work to be done to UI apparently):

This is pretty exciting stuff. While I am sure they won't have the full functionality of Microsoft Word 2007 etc, I am also sure it will probably suffice for 90% of users. We have had many clients wishing this kind of functionality will be added to Notes so that their users can drop Word etc.

Here is some more info.

G'Day. I'm the guy running this blog, Adam Brown.

I am a Software Engineer with a passion for collaborative software. There are so many great new tools that allow us to work across boundaries, from any location, in real time or asynchronise.

So I am planning on talking about my experiences in this space, ideas on Collaboration, Software Development, Technology, and other things I am interested in. I welcome your feedback and comments.
