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.
