Domino isn't dying. That was the clear message at last week's Workplace 1.1 launch. In fact, here are the exact words of IBM's vice president for Lotus products, Larry Bowden: "The Domino application server will be around for the next decade." He said it -- and reporters, customers and business partners were all within earshot. Does that mean you won't have to learn new skills? No. Does that mean that Domino isn't evolving? No. But for so many developers and admins who have sweated Domino's future, these are words you can hang your hats (and maybe your jobs) on. Check out the Lotus product roadmap and the new Workplace rollouts. What are your thoughts? Post your feelings in our Sound Off forum or drop us an e-mail, and let us know if you're sleeping any easier. Jon  Featured Topic: Lock 'em up by Dana McCurley, Assistant Editor Despite the great reputation Domino has on security, it is still constantly on the minds of Domino admins everywhere. Keep up-to-date on the industry with our collection of articles, tips and Ask the Experts questions, and learn how to keep the bad guys out and the good guys in.

When it was all said and done, however, resident security expert Chuck Connell ended up floored -- literally.
