Domino OSGi Tasklet Services - some useful links

I am currently working on a DOTS project. Since I have started this project I benefited a lot from various community resources out there. First of all, thank you very much to the originating authors for sharing these resources with all of us! I was thinking that starting a link collection for DOTS might be a good idea for others who want dive deeper in this topic...

So this is a list of some valuable resources I used :

• Presentation from BLUG by Frank van der Linden:
  The power of DOTS
  This presentation is very useful if you want to get a comprehensive overview of DOTS and details on how to setup a development environment to get started!
• Various DOTS-related Blog Posts by Serdar Basegmez
• IBM Connect 2013 Session Slide by Bruce Elgort and Serdar Basegmez:
  BP207 - Meet the Java Application Server you already own - IBM Domino
• OpenNTF video by Niklas Heidloff:
  Extend Domino Servers via OSGi/Java
  This video also shows how to setup Eclipse as well as Domino and some samples.
• OpenNTF DOTS project page
• ICONUK presentation by Serdar Basegmez and Frank van der Linden:
  Background Tasks: An XPager's Guide to Process Server-Side Jobs on Domino
• NotesIn9 093: Introduction to DOTS by Serdar Basegmez
• Another helpful Blog Post by Rene Winkelmeyer with some interesting details you should not miss:
  DOTS - considerations about a real cool gem for IBM Domino

XPages Gamification on OpenNTF

Last Sunday I uploaded my first OpenSource project XPages Gamification on OpenNTF. This is my contribution to the Appathon XPages development contest and my first open-sourced application ever.

I am really excited about this new experience: coding an app just for fun (yes, fun!), submitting the code to the community (plus for a judgement). I already can say for sure that it was worth the effort just for my personal experience!


There is still a lot of work to do in many different areas (UI, features, better integration in existing application ecosystems etc...), but I am already working on a first update with first bug fixes and a few more features.  Nevertheless, I am really looking forward to your feedback about my app. 

So this is it: XPages applications now can be gamified :)

Thank you for stopping by here :-) 

My name is Michael Ruhnau. This is my new blog about IBM Notes & Domino, XPages and... well, let's see what else. I have been working with Notes for about 15 years - most of the time as an application developer and consultant. Find out more about me here.

Starting a blog is something I wanted to do for a long time. After all these years working with Notes & Domino it has become a part of me, my identity. So this place here will be my take on contributing something to the IBM-Lotus-Notes-Domino-Collaboration-XPages-Community. Hope to see you soon again here ;-)
