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...

The new Semantic Web-like Oracle Events application is out there. Call it a mashup of Google Maps, Siderean Seamark, and Oracle Secure Enterprise Search.I, for one, think this is the coolest app ever to appear with an Oracle.com header on it - by far.The "technology creep" intentionally initiated by OTN Semantic Web Beta continues, all according to plan. (Insert evil laughter here.)

Yeah, you can do that. What a country.

Just published my podcast interview with Chris Mason, who heads up Oracle's Linux Kernel team, about his new Btrfs (pronounced "butter - eff - ess", I learned) filesystem. Nice guy. (This is a follow-up to an earlier conversation with him about Linux Kernel development at Oracle generally.)As some in the community suspected, Btrfs truly is intended as a replacement for the creaky ext3. This may raise eyebrows in some segments of the community, but few can deny the need for an...

Good news for SoCal! As a former captive of Orange County (Laguna Beach HS, Class of '84) I'm happy to report the first-ever Southern California Oracle Users Conference (Tues., Aug 14, at the Westin in Long Beach) - a cooperative effort of the LA and OC Oracle Users Groups. And yeah, it's free.Ken Jacobs and Tom Kyte will both be previewing Oracle Database 11g functionality - Real Application Testing, Total Replay, etc. -- and Oracle ACE Director Bradley Brown will present...
