Update: Registration for Denver (Oct. 11) and Atlanta (Oct. 18) now open; LA (December) coming soon!-----------------I'm happy to bring you the news that Oracle Technology Network will be offering free developer workshops ("OTN Developer Day") around the world in 2007-2008, with the first set to occur in the U.S. (Redwood Shores, Denver, and Atlanta) in October. (You may remember these workshops in their previous incarnation as "Oracle Developer Day".) Because frankly, all...

Man, don't you just hate clearing out the mental cobwebs after vacation, not to mention your email inbox?I still have plenty of both yet to do, but I want to bring a couple quick items to your attention. First of all, last week we published my podcast interview with Paul Pedrazzi of Oracle AppsLab, who had some interesting things to say about Oracle's new investments in the "community" area and their impact on product development.Second, nominations are now open for the first...

In Companies still seeking ROI from SOA, Computerworld journalist Heather Havenstein reports on new Nucleus Research findings on the ROI of SOA. The report finds that only 37% of companies using SOA have seen ROI. The report also finds that developers working for the 63% of companies on the losing end of that equation aren't using available SOA tools. According to the report, organizations whose developers use SOA tools have increased productivity by 28%. Havenstein writes:...

Once again, the AppsLab team proves its stunning ability to be nimble, disruptive, and influential all at once: the kudos about the internal social networking app they developed in 24 hours are flying around the net with abandon. Who knew that all Oracle needed for Web 2.0 cred was to deploy a really cool Rolodex? ;)This comment says more about the Web 2.0 community's habit of making mountains out of molehills -- "Look, Ma! I own an empty building in Second Life!" -- than...

Oracle Database 11g for Linux is out there now under the OTN Developer License (our motto, with props to Niall Litchfield: "Free to download, free to learn, unlimited evaluation"). As usual, Windows and other releases are to follow. (Some reporters' fixation with the initial Linux-only release is mysterious, because releasing on Linux first - Oracle itself runs on Linux - is SOP.)Along with it, you can dive into the first three installments (Database Replay, Partitioning,...

I love this - the new template for official Oracle product documentation includes a comments area:I want to applaud the Docs team for this change - which certainly does not rise to the level of a wiki in terms of community participation (and really, don't you want official doc to come from a trusted source anyway?) - but that symbolizes nonetheless how great strides have been made in that department. Nice work!

Another LinuxWorld nearly in the books. Odd, IBM and Red Hat were notthere (for second year in a row I think, in Red Hat's case at least).IMO this show, perhaps more dramatically than any other, LW has leftits geeky, grass-roots origins for a much more corporate position (sortof like Linux itself, actually).The highlight wasthe presence of several of Oracle's Linux kernel hackers/engineers atthe "Oracle on Linux Experience" on Wednesday afternoon (a glorifiedinstallfest...

We were very happy to receive a report from our OTN colleagues in Asia this morning about the packed crowd in the OTN Lounge at Oracle OpenWorld Shanghai this week.In particular, it was great to hear that Oracle ACEs and Oracle ACE Directors like Rich Ho, Roger Wan, Eygle Gai, Feng Chunpei, Feng Dahui and Lou Fangxin are having such an impact on the community. There really is no substitute for sharing real-world "war stories" when helping people understand how specific...
