You may recall that last year, Oracle issued blogger credentials at Oracle OpenWorld for the first time.
Well, call it an annual event: blogger credentials will be issued this year as well, starting now! Register at this URL. (Note: this looks like a generic attendee form but it does go straight to the Blogger Care & Feeding Team. Replace "Company Name" with "Blog Name".)
Sorry, authors of wine & cheese blogs need not apply. We are indeed looking for people who can add to the conversation in a productive way, so you may be asked for details about your blog's focus.
Credentialed bloggers (sounds like an oxymoron, no?) will have access to all kinds of great stuff, the details of which the Blogger Care & Feeding Team is working on right now. AppsLab Jake and I are both personally involved in making this a rewarding experience, so no worries there!
More details about this program to come as I get them.
Update (9:29am) - perhaps I should also mention that this program is for non-employees only. Sorry, Oracle employee bloggers!
Update (6/15) - I've seen some grumbling in the 'sphere about the ostensible "opacity" of the approval process. Folks, it's just plain common sense: the blog has to be relevant. (See "wine & cheese" language above.) That's it.

I don't think I'm qualified and the ACE program is already buying my ticket in, but I wanted to add that I think this is an excellent program. I certainly hope that you guys can continue to convince the "powers that be" of the value this demonstrates to the community.
C u in SF! Actually, I'll see you in NOLA next week! :)

Is this targeted only at external bloggers, or should Oracle employees also register? I can see the rationale for doing it either way.

Sorry Michael, non-employees only. We have to find our own lunch.

the form seems broken... I submitted it, but it just sent me to a blank page.

Investigating! Actually Bex you're all set because we will put any ACE bloggers who want one of these on the list anyway.

Pls delete my earlier comment attempts.
I'm registered and an ACE - anything else I need to do?
Great idea for the bloggers!
Thanks!

This is the third free entrance ticket:
- Oracle ACE
- Speaker
- Blogger
So I guess I will get an extra black ACE on my website now.
Or is this like in the army: the higher the rank, the more stripes you get :-)

I am not able to register my blogger credentials with the link above. It takes me to the Oracle OpenWorld website. After logging in, not seeing where to maintain the blogger credentials.

Patrick, the form looks fairly OpenWorld-generic but in fact the info you put in it will go straight to the right people.

Has communication been sent to bloggers whether their request for the "bloggers pass" has been approved or not?
Thanks

Not to my knowledge; this should happen in the near future.

Justin ,
Any idea when the notification will come thru .
the deadline for prereg fees is august 1st. and hotel and air booking would become a problem after that
