The Beginning of the Long Tail
So, Oracle OpenWorld 2007 is over. It was a milestone for a several reasons, the main one being: the conference was reinvigorated thanks to innovations like the Unconference, No Slide Zone, Oracle Wiki, Oracle Mix, etc. - the latter two still being in heavy use, even after the buildings have emptied.
The OTN presence there was also the most successful yet, with more than 3,500 people passing through the OTN Lounge and nearly 4,000 partying at OTN Night. And it was personally a thrill for me to attach faces to email identities, having finally met folks like Chris Muir, Floyd Teter, Doug Burns, Jared Still, and others.
It was a conference for the ages, yeah!
