Open source community for ICS, primarily Dominohttp://openntf.orgLaunched in 2002700+ projects, 70,000+ registered users

OpenNTF Early History

Improved R6/7/8 mail templateMostly about standalone Notes applications“Power user”-oriented, to match the development environment

OpenNTF Today

Largely support tools for XPages developersStandalone tools still exist (DomBackup, Intrapages), but are less commonThis is a reflection of the changed development landscapeMore individual reusable components

The XPages Extension Library

Started as an IBM example projectBecame an integral part of XPages developmentRecently started aggressively including community additions

…including some I made just for this project

The OpenNTF Domino API

Started as a pure community projectBuilds on IBM’s Java API to bring modern featuresOne of the most collaborative OpenNTF projects

OpenNTF in the Future

The next phase: structured developmentA suite of tools from Atlassian to cover source control, wikis, automated builds, and project managementAdmittedly, this is even more in the “all developers, all the time” camp

Bamboo: Continuous Integration

JIRA: Issue Management

Stash: Source Control

Confluence: Documentation/Wiki

OpenNTF in the Future

The goals:More collaborationLarger projectsExpanding beyond Domino/XPages
