Resource Reservation New Documentation and Open Mic goodness
I've been busy updating existing documentation on Lotus Notes C&S and even creating new documents this summer. I've been doing this in between several customer visits (hey y'all!). The latest new Resource Reservation document is in the Domino Wiki. It's
Clustering the Resource Reservation database in IBM Lotus Domino
It covers the finer points of clustering the system and includes a new server command you probably don't know about. (You're just going to have to read the article to find out what it is.)
If you have questions, you can obviously comment in the wiki. (You can also heap praise upon the author, she won't mind.) Better yet, join me and a bunch of other folks from Support to Development for an Open Mic call on Thursday, September 10, 2009 and ask questions about the Resource Reservation System.
The details for this call are below. There is link below that says this part, but PLEASE - go ahead and post your questions here if you have them.

That way, if you miss the call at 10 AM Eastern Daylight Time on Thursday, we can post an answer in the forum for your issue. Also, it helps us to keep the call moving during the long silences where everybody is thinking of things to ask. It makes us feel very good if nobody asks questions, but the replay of calls like that are very boring for the listener, so ask ahead of time. Some questions are already there!
And if you're just too bashful to post questions, email me at work or gmail or skype me or friend me or anything - I"m not hard to find.
Official Stuff here:

During the Open Mic session September 10th, we will answer questions about the Domino Resource & Reservations database. Questions should be of general interest and by their nature help you install, configure, manage or optimize your software. We will collect questions, which have been posted to the forum and address as many as possible on the call. We will also take questions on the call, which have not been submitted in advance.
