Just got the download on a great new social media program for OpenWorld.Starting on Sunday, Qik account holders can join an "OpenWorld" event and stream their Qik video directly to blogs.oracle.com/videoblog. (yes, there will be a human filter in place to minimize the shenanigans), as well as to a video wall within Moscone Center itself. Furthermore, an employee team - yours truly included - have been equipped with Samsung devices to scour the conference for "targets of...

Kerfuffle in ESB-ville

Writing in his Mastering SOA blog, Mike van Alst reports on the blogosphere  ust-up he encountered while researching the use and benefits of an enterprise service bus: What surprised me was the number of discussions and especially the tone of them. It seems the whole ESB discussion has degraded to a kind of mudslinging between different fundamental groups. One group states that the ESB is an architectural monstrosity which is not needed whenever the initial design of the...

As I remarked during the early days of Oracle's acquisition of BEA, Tuxedo has proven to be one of the more interesting - if under-appreciated - aspects of the BEA-now-Oracle product line.Although not well known in developer circles, Tuxedo is the rock upon which millions of business-critical transactions are run today. Interestingly, it now also proving to be an important component in Oracle's new Application Grid solution, which more or less debuted this week in this...

Standards -- the new breed

Trond-Arne Undheim on the emergence of The Open Web Foundation and the implications for established standards and standards organizations: The Open Web...

Trond-Arne Undheim on the emergence of The Open Web Foundation and the implications for established standards and standards organizations: The Open Web Foundation is an interesting new initiative which shows that a new generation is interested in standards. They have different needs. They are willing to create something new. Alternatively, they have lost faith in the traditional players like national standards bodies (certainly) as well as players of the 1990s' Internet age,...

Applying Enterprise 2.0 Where it Hurts

As blogger John Brunswick points out, Enterprise 2.0 enjoys a high buzz factor and generates a lot of excitement, and that's not necessarily a good thing. That...

As blogger John Brunswick points out, Enterprise 2.0 enjoys a high buzz factor and generates a lot of excitement, and that's not necessarily a good thing. That buzz and excitement can leave you all tingly and panting to implement lots of cool Web 2.0 tools within the enterprise. But decisions made while buzzed and excited often have interesting results. And by interesting I mean things like weird late-night phone calls and unexplained tattoos. So John suggests a calm,...

SOA Governance Chatter

William Vambenepe jumps into the discussion of the evolution of SOA governance with a great round-up of recent  industry chatter on SOA governance in general and on the design-time/runtime divide, and offers this insight:   I like the approach of keeping SOA Governance closely integrated with the development and IT management infrastructures. At the cost of quoting myself (if I don’t, who will?) “it’s not just about managing Web services or Web sites, it’s about managing the...

Writing in his AMIS Technology blog, Lucas Jelema offers his take on the evolution of SOA Governance: Not too long ago, companies such as Oracle and BEA claimed that all you would need for effective Governance is a Service Registry, such as the one from Systinet, implementing UDDI 3.0, that both these vendors were offering. Then BEA bought Flashline and with its Enterprise Repository product changed its tune completely. Now Oracle purchased BEA and started integrating the...

This post is strictly about swag - specifically, a new twist on swag that you will enjoy at Oracle OpenWorld, if and only if you visit us at The OTN Lounge.First of all, let me address the topic of boring plastic conference badges. You've seen one, you've seen them all, right? Not so anymore. Courtesy of OTN, you can now take steps to make that badge representative of the "inner" you. (But don't take this too far!)Stop by the OTN Lounge to pick up a full sheet of Mikons that...
