Yak about Apps...: October 2007 Archives

During my many years at Oracle, and/or working for Oracle partners, I have met an extraordinary group of Oracle application evangelists. These people, right, wrong or indifferent, have spent many waking hours of their own personal time, educating and helping others succeed.

Well, I am excited to announce that Oracle has established the Oracle ACE Program for Application Advocates which will now recognize and reward members of the Oracle Applications communities for their past contributions. These individuals are technically proficient (when applicable) and willingly share their knowledge and experiences.

Areas of contribution or activity include but are not limited to:

Oracle Discussion Forums
Content submissions such as technical papers, articles, code samples, utilities
Oracle book authorship
Oracle-related blogs
Oracle-related podcasts
Oracle event speaker
Participation in Oracle programs such as:
- Customer Reference Program
- Beta Programs
- User Groups

The benefits of being an Oracle ACE include:

Recognition and promotion on Oracle Web sites as an "official" expert
- Profile posted in online Oracle ACE Directory
- Oracle ACE icon ( ) added to Oracle Discussion Forum profile as well as published article bylines
An Oracle ACE appreciation gift
Invitations to participate in Oracle ACE activities

Nominations can be made by anyone. Nomination form and instructions can be found here.

Look for the ACE (signifies ACE) on Oracle Web sites and discussion forums; it signifies "ACE-dom" for the designated name.

In August, I blogged about registering for the November Oracle OpenWorld 2007 conference and encouraged you to confirm a hotel room if you planned on attending. I hope you all took my advice because I think the nearest hotel room is some place around Microsoft headquarters!

Any ways, this event should be fantastic! The Oracle application executive speaker line-up is powerful - Ed Abbo, Cliff Godwin and Jesper Andersen - along with customers from large and small companies who have implemented all different configurations of Oraclei??s Application Unlimited products. If you would like more information about an Oracle OpenWorld session, schedule, etc. go to http://www.oracle.com/openworld/2007/index.html. Please note: To guarentee attendance in a session, please pre-register for that specific session!

In addition, have you seen the music line up for Wednesday night, November 14 at the Cow Palace? It is incredible! http://www.oracle.com/openworld/2007/appreciation.html. I have seen Billy Joel several times and have never been disappointed. I haven't seen Lenny Kravitz but would love to. And the last time I saw Stevie Nicks was with Tom Petty. I would love to see her with Mick Fleetwood.

Finally, I look forward to meeting many of you in San Francisco. Here are a few sessions that I recommend as a must attend or at least, where I will be hanging out with Oracle application enthusiasts. Check the show daily for any time or room changes.

Have Fun
