SUPER.HUMAN.SOFTWARE

You might want to call me a tree hugger. When I had to get a copy of a old Domino 5.0.5 pubnames.ntf copy for a friend I ran into this installer screen.
It has bee a while and it has been an interesting ride so far.
With Domino 12 and later releases we got a lot back from the old passion and energy back into Domino server development.
The last couple of releases have been a blast.
Notes & Domino always was and still is a remarkable software product. Some of the base concepts are still unmatched by other software.
I had never more fun working with Domino. I my different roles I have never created more code then in the last couple of years.
There is just not enough time to get all my favorite projects done. Specially the Open Source projects take a lot of time -- But it is worth every minute for me!
I have worked with quite a bunch of other software at customers in the last years.
None of them had the same functionality when it comes to flexible, integrated application development, long term support of functionality and cross platform support.
The grass always looks greener on the other side. But did you look back to what you had?
Seeing this install screen below I am recalling the old times and want to give kudos to all the friends around the globe who are on the same journey for all those years.
Domino release 5.x was a mile stone for Domino. So as the current releases are!
A while ago I updated a Domino 5.0.3 server on Linux in 30 seconds to Domino 12.0.2 inside a Docker container at the HCL factory tour in Milan.
Try that with any other enterprise messaging system..
I could not be more proud of being part of that journey.
