Thanks to the OOW team and the Mix gang for putting this great idea into the conference. It looks like you're getting some great additional content that might not have otherwise made it to presentations. For all those sessions that were not selected, you should absolutely consider presenting it at the Unconference event (http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Oracle+OpenWorld+Unconference). See you there!

Seems APEX is the most popular topic. Congratulations to the top 25!! Perhaps, some of these presentations could have been grouped together so that there would have been more variety and a couple more presentation slots. Not a single core Oracle EBS presentation! Wonder why......Maybe the votes didn't add up..

I would like to thank Oracle for implementing the mix web site, and allowing for active Oracle users to help decide on topics to be included at Oracle Open World. I am very excited about having my topic "Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE)—Custom Versus Prepackaged" be selected, and I am very much looking forward to presenting at the conference. This is a very worthwhile opportunity and is great way to share my knowledge of the Oracle Business Intelligence product.

Hi all,
Thanks all for voting my presentation
" Undocumented Oracle DBA Utilities: Black Magic for the Oracle Expert!" as one of the top final sessions for this year's OpenWorld. I look forward to sharing my inside secrets on how to dig into the Oracle database engine
with some undocumented and hidden tools.
As for EBS- I am thinking of possibly doing a whitepaper/workshop on EBS and Data Warehouse/OBIEE for next year's OpenWorld.
Regards,
Ben Prusinski

Oh yes, reserving some slots for user-nominated sessions has been a great idea and i am especially happy to find myself in company of many great oracle buddies.
Thanks to all the people who voted for the session.

Good to see the popularity of Apex!

I couldn;t thank the Mix team enough for putting it together. This, being an experiment, must have gone through utmost scrutiny. But I hope in the end, the results were as expected. Without this, I couldn't have been able to submit my abstract; and I wish to thank Oracle Mix and the members who voted for the session.
