JDBC Access for IBM Lotus Domino
Expand the query capability of Note/Domino (N/D)
• N/D views already provide a powerful query
mechanism, with unique capabilities like
categorization, responses... but native N/D views lack
some key features like dynamic queries and joins
between views. The features Domino views lack are
exactly those at which SQL excels
Reporting – Data analytics
• SQL is the de facto standard used by reporting/data
analysis tools. Making N/D data behave like relational
data suddenly opens it to a large set of tools that

Mindoo Geohash
"Mindoo Geohash" demonstrates techniques to
work with geospatial data in IBM Lotus
Notes/Domino
Uses the Google Geocoding API to retrieve
coordinates
For effiency reasons, we do not scan through the
whole dataset to find locations nearby, but use so
called Geohashes to precompute the relevant
location document subset in the lookup Notes View
that needs to be scanned
For a deeper understanding how Geohashes
work, use the Geohash Demonstrator to find the
surrounding geohashes for an address

IP Goals
Rigourous – but flexible
To be taken seriously, OpenNTF needs to be
closer to Eclipse and Apache rather than
SourceForge
• Companies trust software that comes from Apache and Eclipse
• On SourceForge, anything goes
However, there are members of the Community
who want to be able to use GPL license:
• To prevent others from making commercial products
• Or since they want to use GPL-licensed components

IP Goals (cont.)
Some contributors didn't want to submit to
rigourous process
And we have Legacy Code
Solution was to clearly identify code that met
Eclipse/Apache-like IP rules

IP Policy
All contributors must be covered by ICLA or CCLA
• no exceptions!
All contributions must be under Apache or one of
GPL3 family of licenses
• Rare exceptions if use of these licenses not possible
Contributions start out as “Not Cleared”
Companies will not touch “Not Cleared projects.
Github is working repository – projects cleared on
“release” to OpenNTF site.
We create “Teams” on Github with write access to
their projects
