In my continual efforts to get your attention about developer, admin, and architect highlights at Oracle OpenWord, I almost forgot to remind you about OTN Night. For the uninitiated, OTN Night is a big party thrown by the Oracle...
Just today we published the OTN Guide to Oracle OpenWorld 2009, a quick summary of all the goodies you can look forward to in October (something like 60 days away - wow). I'll be providing a rich media "version" of...
I caught up with Oracle ACE Director Chris Bucchere - the "only Plumtree guy" in the ACE pantheon, as he likes to call himself - shortly after his ODTUG afternoon tech session on getting started with Oracle WebLogic Server. Chris'...
Would you bump into Steven Feuerstein while he's in the middle of a jog? Would you see people actually *wearing* their Oracle ACE Director red vests (aka "Stanleys"), not just abusing them? Are people happy to sit through eight straight...
With the announcement of a formal date and place for the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g launch (July 1 in Washington, D.C.; register here), can the downloadable bits be too far behind? Not likely. Charles Phillips and Thomas Kurian will be...
OTN Virtual Developer Day: Rich Enterprise Applications (~1100 registrations) is nearly upon us (starts at 8am PT on May 27), so I just want to let you know that I will be live-tweeting the keynote Webcast by Ted Farrell and...
Pretty exciting morning, eh? Well, allow me to add to it even more. Typically, the hands-on developer workshop (OTN Developer Day included) involves a heavy dosage of downloading, installation, and configuration of a dev environment as a necessary table-setter. This...
For the first time in many years, a public call-for-papers has been issued for Oracle OpenWorld. Can anyone remember the last time this happened, if ever? Not in my tenure here (since 2003). You have until April 19 April 26...
Now, Oracle Applications Unlimited, IMO, has been one of Oracle's more successful customer-communication programs. In the early days of the Oracle-PeopleSoft-JD Edwards integration, the support and investment policies for "traditional" (that is, non-Fusion) apps were murky and plagued by FUD;...
The inaugural OTN Architect Day is occurring in Boston at this very moment; we have Twitpic photos to prove it. (The ever-delightful Clemens Utschig-Utschig; thanks, @cpurdy) (The crowd; thanks, @brhubart) Experience the event virtually, tweet-by-tweet, courtesy of Bob Rhubart (@brhubart)....
As you may already know, I have particular fondness for the business intelligence area, which goes all the way back to my days as an associate editor for AI Expert Magazine (at the time one of only two trade publications...
This is something you'll want to know: Registration is now open for the Enterprise 2.0 Boot Camp on July 28 in Redwood Shores. Most of you would agree, I'm sure, that the "soft" issues pertaining to deployment/use of Web 2.0...
The Oracle ACE presence at ODTUG Kaleidoscope could not have been more productive. I really appreciate the time (and in some cases long travel time) rendered by the 40+ Oracle ACEs in attendance.The Oracle ACE bling that the ODTUG Board...
The official invite is out there:"Join Oracle executives Charles Phillips, President, and Thomas Kurian, Senior Vice President, Oracle Server Technologies Development, for an informative briefing that will explore how the addition of BEA products to Oracle Fusion Middleware creates a...
I am really happy to see that the booth-based unconference is going well. Geoff Lee, product manager for Oracle XML DB, had it tough as the first presenter, but he "kicked the door in" (as he put it). Subsequent sessions...
As I traditionally do, I took a tour around the Web 2.0 Expo exhibitor pavilion to snap some photos:...along the way I "bumped" into Sam Lawrence-on-wheels (CEO of Jive Software, a valued friend of OTN):More postings to come on the...
Oracle ACEs, thanks for attending the dinner we sponsored in Denver on Sunday night. Awfully sorry I couldn't be there personally, but I hope to see many of you in New Orleans at ODTUG....
Got something to share at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco? Sign up for the micro-unconference in the Oracle booth.Several Oracle product managers already go the jump on this but there are still a few open slots. My favorites thus...
