I realized today that there is a sort of “fool proof formula” for obtaining applause at Lotusphere! You simply need to do a few of the following things. Hopefully this helps some of you who are presenting. 
- Take any function/process that everyone hates – and fix it
- Show editors for inline complete of javascript, xml, html, etc.
- Pause for 3 seconds after you do something in your demo
- Ask: “Do you want that?” when showing an upcoming feature
- Do a demo in 5 minutes of something that today takes us 1 day to create, 2 to test and 3 to debug
- Let Maureen do the presenting (she’s always got great stuff!)
- XPages. Any time you talk or demo about it – you win
- Mention ANYTHING about support for Mac’s
- Mention ANYTHING about support for the iPhone
- Copy/paste a replica ID
