’Read my Blog’ buttons: ready for Lotusphere 2009
Posted by Theo Heselmans on January 12th, 2009
At ILUG 2008 I passed out about 50 of these buttons.
I plan to repeat this again for LS09.
Denise Shaw, a Notes 8 graphic artist, working with Mary Beth Raven, created this great artwork.
This is the idea behind it:
We, bloggers, are social people,
and like to chat with like-minded (human) beings.
If you see a gal/guy wearing this button at Lotusphere,
it tells you that it's OK to say hello and chat.
It is NOT intended to identify an elite group of people.
You should know however that many of us bloggers haven't met most of the others in recent times, so we love to say hi to each other too.
So if you are a blogger, and haven't received a button yet, find me at LS09, and I'll give you one (for free).
If you already got one, please bring it along and wear it.
Hope to talk to all of you SOON.

Hi Theo. Great news that you are doing the Blogger buttons again - they were such a success in Dublin!
Looking forward to seeing you in Orlando.
Theo - I can't find mine from ILUG... can I take one again?
@Stuart: Tx for the free ad. Counting down ;-)
@Paul: sure you can !
I passed out 50 so far at ILUG, less than 100 left.
First come, first serve (but I'll keep one separate for you)
I wear my button with pride :-) Once I've worn it at an Ironport event and was almost immediately identified as a Notes user. "Hey, do you use Lotus Notes in your company? Might I ask you a question or two?"
Hi Theo,
How do I find you at #LS09?
I'd like one of your buttons.
Thanks

@Ulrich: Great story !
@Tim: Look for me at the opening Reception pool party!
If you see me anywhere else, just stop me.
There aren't that many gray-bearded guys wearing glasses like I do!
How hard can it be to find 1 man in a crowd of 8000 people anyway :-)
Theo, I think this is great. I'd love one too. I'll look for you as well. I'll be easy to find. I'll be at with Sherpa at the table as you make your way in.
I'll be the guy with the Terrible Towel.
Theo,
Hold one for me. Wish it could have said follow me to the Blogger's Lounge.
Maybe next year.
What a great idea! I wish I could be there to get a button...
Maybe I'll have to print out the graphic and wear it around here...
I will be sure to look you up ... I want one of them buttons as well!
U will be the only attendee wearing University of Connecticut stuff while speaking German with an Austrian accent ... lol
Theo: if there's a chance you can be at TURT101 on Sunday afternoon in Dolphin South Hemisphere III at 5:30 or 5:45, these would be in high demand. If nothing else, I need one!
@Turtle,
Count on it, I wouldn't miss it !
cu there.
