OpenNTF at ICS.UG

March is a busy month for user groups in Europe, with two heavyweight events occurring back to back.

On Thursday 26th and Friday 27th March, ICS.UG event is taking place at ATLANTIC Grand Hotel in Bremen, Germany. Kramer Reeves will be delivering the keynote, no doubt with IBM Verse top of the agenda (by then it should be imminently hitting General Availability). In addition a number of OpenNTF Board Members (past and present) will be speaking, including:

Vom XPages Held zum OSGI Guru! – Wie man eine Extensionlibrary entwickelt
OpenNTF – 2015 Edition
Chairman Christian Guedemann will deliver two sessions. The first is the popular session from IBM ConnectED on how to move from copying and pasting design elements in XPages to contributing them server-wide in an extension library. The second will cover some of what's already available on OpenNTF and how we plan to evolve in 2015.
