Fascinating that a little game of blog-tag would evolve into the latest Oracle Blogosphere teapot tempest (nicely summarized here by Eddie Awad & commenters). Interestingly, the game has since spilled over into the wider Blogoverse.Whether a blog-tag = spam is not a topic I would have foreseen in this venue. Just goes to show you that a community has organic attributes - it comprises many mutually balancing interests, such as ego/atruism, privacy/desire to share, and so on....

Part of the SOA Governance @ Work series A significant part of getting your SOA to do what it's supposed to do is getting the people involved in the SOA to do what they're supposed to do. While you're thinking about that, consider that "Don't Tase me, bro!" was recently named the most memorable phrase of 2007. Coincidence? You be the judge. Anyway... In our last installment we looked at incentives and their role in getting people to get with the SOA program. Developing the...

I want to add some gloss to Jake Kuramoto's entry about the upcoming Oracle Marketing 2.0 Leader Summit, of which I am one of the organizers (along with Marius Ciortea, Paul Salinger, and Tim Bonnemann). This internal summit is an important one for several reasons. For one, it will be attended by Oracle influencers from across the globe, some of whom are corporate officers. And for some of those people (particularly those from abroad), this summit will be their first exposure...

Thanks, AppsLab Jake, for the game of blog-tag! (This is now my second game of blog-tag; my first was courtesy of Jeff Pulver but as Jake points out, this is the first version intended for the Oracle blogosphere. Great idea.)So, eight things you don't know about me (apologies to those who already know them or who read the previous tag post):1. I am a law school dropout (U. of San Diego). Maybe it was the culture shock of moving directly from Berkeley to a Catholic school in...

Just heard tell of a free "Software as a Service" seminar (really an "Industry Summit" in Oracle marketing parlance) at Oracle HQ's conference center on Jan. 18. The keynoter is ZDnet blogger Phil Wainewright, an authority on SaaS use cases and success factors, with panelists including the prescient Ann Winblad of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners.The focus is not exclusively business-related though; there will be apps- and tech platform-related breakouts covering issues...

Thanks to Oracle ACE Director Matt Topper for his pioneering ora-click site, where you can submit Oracle-related stories for Digg-like treatment. Recently Oracle ACE Director Eddie Awad and Matt worked together to integrate Eddie's OraNA news aggregator feed with ora-click such that many (if not most) posts across the Oracle blogosphere automatically become ora-click fodder. I love this!Here at Oracle we explored a similar project about a year ago, which would have used some...

If you were at Oracle OpenWorld you may have heard tell of Thomas Kurian's professed "Christmas present for developers," which he and other development VPs referred to obliquely. Literally minutes before I took leave for holiday last week, this present was delivered in the form of new Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Technology Previews, including:- Oracle JDeveloper 11g Tech Preview 3, the first release to include design time support for Oracle WebCenter as well as SOA - in...

What were OTN visitors reading in 2007? All is revealed:1. "Installing Oracle Database 10g Release 2 on Linux x86", by John Smiley (2005)Interesting that an unofficial install guide (from a senior engineer at a major, Seattle-based online retailer not to be named) would turn out to be so popular, for so long - especially since it covers only RHEL4 and SLES9. BTW, I have John's update for 11g in my hands right now (for publication in the early new year; will cover OEL5...
