In a nice post on the Triora Group blog, Robert McMillen recounts his experience crashing last week's Oracle ACE dinner, and in the process offers a glowing endorsement of the members of the ACE community and the work they do in fulfilling their roles as community leaders: Next to me were two ACEs who regularly interact on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) Forums providing responses to the many questions that are posted. These two ACE’s had never met in person but through...

I just had to do a post on the irony of the situation Oracle ACE Ronald van Luttikhuizen found himself in on his return from OpenWorld 2008: This recap of some interesting OOW2008 sessions is posted a bit later than expected since my baggage -including notes- was stuck on the airport for a few days. Coincidentally my baggage was stranded at the same airport for which I codesigned the new baggage handling system. Maybe software can have a grudge against its creator after...

After a few days recuperation the cumulative effects of minor jet lag, three days straight manning the info booth in the OTN Lounge, the massive OTN Night shindig, the ACE dinner, and various other cocktail-fueled encounters with colleagues old and new, I feel sufficiently restored to acknowledge a few of the smart, funny, interesting people I met as part of my OOW08 experience, most of whom are Oracle ACEs or ACE Directors. That experience began on Sunday night (9/21) with...

It is well known that Mogens Norgaard of Danish consulting outfit Miracle AS maintains a secret virtual office while at Oracle OpenWorld. I went there to investigate today:

As is the tradition, I will now provide photos from OTN Night (from Monday night). The names have been removed to protect the innocent (and guilty).Aren't you green with envy?As if these photos weren't enough evidence of a good time had by all, I must report that the venue, the SF Hilton, made Primo Beer available to our guests. I haven't seen evidence of Primo's existence since the 3rd grade, when the owning of that brand was considered the pinnacle of achievement in the...

An Oracle logo on a piece of hardware: Count that among the list of things I never thought to see happen, but did.During his keynote today, Larry Ellison revealed the HP Oracle Database Machine, a grid-in-a box comprising, as the PR calls it, "a grid of Oracle Database Servers and a grid of new Oracle Exadata Storage Servers packaged in a single rack ordered as a complete system from Oracle." The system is chiefly intended for large data warehouses but as Larry describes it,...

Another interesting means of searching OTN content is now available, courtesy of iamthenode.com.The experience speaks for itself, but suffice to say here, iamthenode gives you the ability to navigate community content in a highly graphical manner. Talk about "throwing something against the wall to see if it sticks"...iamthenode mousepads are available for the taking at the OTN Lounge!

The obvious benefit of traveling from Cleveland to San Francisco to take part in OpenWorld is that it provides an opportunity to have an actual face-to-face, three-dimensional conversation with people who otherwise exist in my world only as lines of text and maybe a thumbnail image on my laptop screen. At Sunday night's Oracle Blogger Meet-up at the Thirsty Bear, at the information desk in the OTN Lounge in Moscone West yesterday, and at last night's massive OTN Night...
