If you're a D2D/A2A blogger and you've been using Windows Live Writer to compose and manage your posts, migrating old posts to a new blog can be a heck of a lot easier than, say, removing your own tonsils. This is especially useful if other means of migration are unavailable. For the uninitiated, Live Writer can be configured to work with multiple blogs on multiple platforms. This allows you to very easily cross-post, that is, publish a single post to multiple blogs. That...

I was pleased to speak with PR blogger John Cass recently about this blog; the results can be seen here. John thinks I'm being too hard on myself!

Yeah, I'll be at CommunityOne/RedmonkOne on Monday and JavaOne Tuesday/Wednesday. Much of the time I'll be at Oracle's booth (#524 - BEA right next door), so do stop by to say "ola".OTN is sponsoring a movie night, as is traditional, on Wednesday (Iron Man - what else - @ The Metreon); the first 500 people to complete a pretty brief survey will get a ticket. We'll be raffling 5 posters while we're there, too.Hope to see you there.Update (May 8): A good time was had by all;...

A new milestone on the ongoing journey to make Oracle OpenWorld 2008 (tag openworld08) more community-oriented is now in the rear-view mirror: 35 slots have been reserved for user-suggested sessions, and you can pitch your own and vote on others at Oracle Mix:The top vote-getters will be added to the agenda. (Of course, if you don't make the cut, you can always present at the Oracle OpenWorld Unconference.)You can read more about this feature, as well as how to get your "I'm...

Mike Olson tells me that a formal Jim Gray Tribute is planned for May 31, in Zellerbach Hall on the UC Berkeley Campus.If you know anything about database technology (or enterprise computing really), you know that Jim Gray, a Turing Award laureate, was a giant in his field. I never knew him personally, but everyone I know who did also calls him a gracious human being.It's appropriate that the tribute program includes a technical session - speakers include Mike Stonebraker,...

I've always had great respect for BEA's developer and architect communities (dev2dev and arch2arch, respectively). For that reason, the closure of the BEA acquisition is really good news not only for OTN, but also for members of those communities.WebLogic and Tuxedo users in particular are fairly fanatical, and their passion and community-first orientation will make the wider Oracle community that much richer. (It almost goes without saying that there is surely significant...

I am really happy to see that the booth-based unconference is going well. Geoff Lee, product manager for Oracle XML DB, had it tough as the first presenter, but he "kicked the door in" (as he put it). Subsequent sessions were better attended. Peter Moskovits (Oracle) on Ajax mashups:Stewart Mader of Atlassian (and author of Wikipatterns), on wiki-fying your enterprise:And Charles Armstrong of Trampoline Systems, an up-and-coming purveyor of "intelligent" social...
