<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Domino 14 is includes
Java 17, an upgrade of two Long-Term-Service Java versions that brings
a slew of improvements and new features. While most of the APIs we use
remain the same, recent versions of Java have focused heavily on developer-friendly
niceties. This webinar will go over some of the more-useful ones for Domino
developers, such as the new HttpClient, text blocks, records, convenience
methods, and cleaner syntax.
 
 Our speaker will
be Jesse Gallagher, an OpenNTF board member, HCL Ambassador, and a software
developer at I Know Some Guys, LLC.
 
 This webinar will
take place on April 18 from 11:00 AM (New York time) to 12:30 PM.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Domino is secure,
right? Well, kind of. But it is far from optimal in a default install,
especially HTTP. DCT used to help, and currently DLAU is trying to be helpful
in that area, but not knowing is not an option. HCL is constantly adding
new security features, but are you aware of them? Are you using them? In
this webinar you'll find practical, no-nonsense tips and tricks to further
secure your Domino environment.
 
 And don't think
security is just for administrators... developers also need to be aware
of, and understand, and code for modern browser security features, such
as CORS and CSP.
 
 The speaker for
this webinar will be Darren Duke. Darren has been doing Notes/Domino stuff
since he first came to America in 1996 to compete as part of the British
Olympic Beer Drinking team in the Atlanta games. In 2005 he founded STS
to provide clients with the service, knowledge, and education they need
to make Domino great again. For a less-interactive version of Darren's
wit and wisdom, visit <a href=https://blog.darrenduke.net/>https://blog.DarrenDuke.net</a>
 
 This webinar will
take place on March 21 from 11:00 AM (New York time) to 12:30 PM. Be wary
of daylight-savings changes for your location.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Domino REST API
(DRAPI) provides a secure REST API to access Domino databases and their
data.  Developers love DRAPI because it provides a modern method for
updating and enhancing their applications.  It is relatively easy
to install, and in just a couple of minutes you have the restapi Domino
server task running.  But, because DRAPI runs on the Domino server,
Domino Administrators need to become involved with its installation and
administration.
 
 To have a production
worthy system, there are configuration steps that need to be taken.  Also,
there are processes that should be followed when making a Domino database
available through DRAPI.  This webinar will provide you with an introduction
to DRAPI, showing you how to install, configure and manage it on your Domino
servers.
 
 This webinar will
take place on February 15 from 11:00 AM (New York time) to 12:30 PM.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ One of the things
I/we’d like to do at OpenNTF is to compose some summary posts of recent
goings-on as appropriate, and this is as good a time as any to kick that
off.
 
 (Admittedly, earlier
this month would have been a bit better of a time, but it’s been a busy
start of the year.)
 
 Project Updates
 
 December saw the
introduction of two wholly-new projects on the site:
 
 Search HCL
Notes Desktop
 
 This project is
an intriguing exercise in using some of the capabilities of the Domino
JNA project to do a neat trick in the Notes client. Specifically, it uses
Domino JNA’s ability to trawl your workspace to find databases and performs
a search across them. This can be much nicer than the global search Notes
normally provides, in that this will be your specific set of workspace
applications.
 
 You can find the
project <a href="/main.nsf/project.xsp?r=project/Search%20HCL%20Notes%20Desktop">here</a>.
 
 Team Documents
 
 This project is
a new Notes client application, useful for coordinating documents among
your team. It highlights the traditional benefits of using Notes quite
well, and is ready packaged to be deployed to your server.
 
 You can find the
project <a href="/main.nsf/project.xsp?r=project/Team%20Documents">here</a>.
 
 Webinars and
Repair Cafés
 
 Last month, we
hosted our now-traditional end-of-year get-togethers for the community
on Discord, and this month we’re resuming our Repair Café and Webinar
schedule.
 
 Our webinar will
take place on January 18th and will be a Deep Dive into Debugging Domino
with the Divas and “the Dude”. To find out more, visit the <a href="/main.nsf/blog.xsp?permaLink=JGAR-CZ5SK8">blog
post</a> or
go to <a href=https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6208945896861947484>register</a>.
 
 Our Repair Café
this month, for any topics, will be on the 25th in <a href=https://openntf.org/discord>our
Discord</a>.
All are welcome, whether or not you have an immediate problem - we encourage
people to talk about interesting problems they solved recently, ask for
opinions, or generally discuss the technologies we use.
 
 We have a solid
slate of webinars scheduled already pretty much through the end of the
year, and we heartily encourage you to join us.

has many facets. This session will delve into the do’s and don’ts when
debugging Domino, whether it be administration issues or application issues.
Don’t panic, instead come to this session. Learn from these industry experts
who have spent many years debugging and resolving real-world problems in
almost every aspect of Domino you can imagine.
 
 This session will
walk you through where to start, how to avoid common mistakes, the significance
of properly scoping problems, essentials for troubleshooting administration
or application design issues, how to work hand-in-hand with HCL support
and demonstrate the full life cycle of effective incident management and
resolution. This fast-paced session will provide MANY MANY examples along
the way as we go through the journey of successful debugging and problem
resolution.
 
 You will gain
insights into what should be regularly monitored and why this is advantageous

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Blogging was a thing in the recent past that was used as a way to have a voice in a community. Many in our community will say that they used their blog as a way to remember things for themselves, and have had the experience where when searching for an answer to a problem have been presented with their own blog post in a set of Google search results! 
As tools have changed blogging isn’t as common anymore, but the need to solve problems remains. While one can get a lot of answers from Stack Overflow there is a place for blogging as a way to help others, demonstrate expertise and share answers to problems you’ve solved yourself. 
The OpenNTF Blogathon is a community event to encourage as many members of our community as possible to start sharing your knowledge / ideas / solutions / questions again. You can write on any topic and for any length, but we suggest that people who are just getting started to keep it small to begin with. A lot of little tips and tricks will eventually turn into a comprehensive reference for the community. 
It’s not just blogging. YouTube videos count too. Whatever way you like to document and share something you have learned with the community is great! 
If you don’t already have a blog, you can send your post to OpenNTF and we can post it to our blog on your behalf, or post a video on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/OpenNTF" target="_blank">our YouTube channel</a> to share. If you would like to start a blog, we recommend using <a href="https://pages.github.com/" target="_blank">GitHub Pages</a>. 
It is really important for us to underscore that any kind of sharing is relevant and any kind of content is useful. Share what you know! Do not let the idea that someone else has already written on a particular topic deter you from also writing on that topic. Seeing the same problem from a different perspective is always helpful. 
For everyone who participates OpenNTF will amplify your post(s) on <a href="https://discord.com/invite/jmRHpDRnH4" target="_blank">Discord</a> and <a href="https://www.collaborationtoday.info/" target="_blank">Collaboration Today</a>, and will send you a digital badge. 
To participate, after you have your content ready, post a link on the OpenNTF Discord server, in the #blogathon channel. Or contact us there if you have content that you would like OpenNTF to host for you. 
Plus, this counts if you are considering a nomination as an <a href="https://www.hcl-software.com/about/hcl-ambassadors" target="_blank">HCL Ambassador</a>, and the nomination period opens in October. 
Contact us on Discord for more information. ]]></content:encoded>

Download the "valid RSS" banner.
Upload the image to your own server. (This step is important. Please do not link directly to the image on this server.)
Add this HTML to your page (change the image src attribute if necessary):

<a href="http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A//blog.openntf.org/blogs/openntf.nsf/stories.xml"><img src="valid-rss-rogers.png" alt="[Valid RSS]" title="Validate my RSS feed" /></a>

If you would like to create a text link instead, here is the URL you can use:
