Part of the SOA Governance @ Work Series Late last year, at an SOA-oriented IT industry event held in Las Vegas, visitors to the BEA booth were asked to fill out a short survey on how their respective companies address SOA governance. While thoroughly unscientific, this informal survey offered a glimpse into: What's happening with SOA Governance out in the real world, and... What happens to the already horrible handwriting of IT people when they are in a city that, by law,...

I apologize not providing frequent updates; being a facilitator is a lot of work and the wifi onsite is not so good.Day 1 has been extremely informative; it got off to a spicy start with a proposal from AppsLab Jake (also a facilitator) to merge our two groups (which we accepted). How Oracle of us! An immediate effect on the marketplace via M&A.I'm not going to take you through every step of the process since then - TMI anyway - but suffice it to say that many common threads...

The Oracle Marketing 2.0 Leaders Summit agenda is set, the space is booked, the whiteboards are in place, and the participants have arrived.The event design is ingenious. Gordon Rudow, its principal architect, has drafted an extremely interesting step-wise process that will guide a set of cross-functional groups, working in parallel, toward a "big idea." The end game is a voting process in which ideas are scored based on innovation, feasibility, and ROI - with points awarded...

Sorry to say it but according to its guardian, Brian Duff, the Orablogs aggregator is on its way to the scrap heap.Orablogs was the first Oracle-centric blog aggregator of which I am aware, and in fact initially served as a blogging platform for Oracle employees as well. (My first Oracle blog was based there.)Certainly there are plenty of alternatives available today, but Orablogs was instrumental in jump-starting - providing the "Big Bang", as it were - for the Oracle...

I note a lot of pent-up demand for Oracle "meetups" across the world - many people interested in them, but few organizers. (Yeah, there's also a lot of spam in here. Meetup.com needs to work on that.)If you're an Oracle ACE this is a great opportunity to share your knowledge and enthusiasm with the rest of the community. Similarly, user groups can use this tool to great advantage (as MySQL users have).Or, maybe you just want to find people in your area interested in the...

Incredible; when I first started blogging two or three years ago, there were only one or two Oracle-related blog aggregators to be found. Today, there are 10 of which I am aware. (If one is missing from this wiki page, go ahead and add it.)How wonderful to be an Oracle user these days; the community resources available to you are simply tremendous.

Fascinating that a little game of blog-tag would evolve into the latest Oracle Blogosphere teapot tempest (nicely summarized here by Eddie Awad & commenters)....
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...
