I had the chance to participate in my first Domino Jam 2025 event this week. Due to travel commitments, I had to settle for a virtual jam rather than the face-to-face sessions conducted in North America the previous week.

Lotus Notes recently turned 25. Sadly its best years are now behind it. IBM has chosen to invest in other areas such as Connections, Bluemix, and Verse. The effects of this change in focus by IBM are now obvious. In 2015 the Notes client is delivering an aging portfolio of applications in an outdated UI using programming languages that have not changed for over 10 years.

The Free Lunch Is Over

Research conducted by GBS suggests that there are somewhere between 10 and 20 million Notes applications in the world. Probably the largest proportion of these were written in the era of Lotus Notes in which we had a free Designer client integrated with the Notes client, and it was available to everyone.
