The consolidation of Oracle's two formal evangelist programs, Oracle ACE and Oracle Fusion Middleware Regional Director (into a pumped-up, two-tiered Oracle ACE Program) was noted with astonishing speed in the blogosphere, notably by ACEs Tim Hall and Eddie Awad.This is good news for a number of reasons, but most important, it allows anyone with a track record of Oracle technical community involvement/outreach to get formal support from Oracle for their activities. PHP...

The sponsor was Prof. ChenShuoying, vice dean of the Department of Computer Science.During this event the students were tasked to create a PHP application on Oracle Database XE; online materials can be found here for you Chinese speakers. Apparently these apps will also be judged by a panel of Oracle engineers in September, with the winner...

Registration for Oracle OpenWorld 2007 is open, believe it or not. My first official act after registering was to join Oracle OpenWorld Connect,the social network app for OOW attendees (powered by LeverageSoftware). And I immediately set up a discussion group for OTN members.We'rejust beginning to plan activities for this year's OTN Lounge, and wouldreally like to hear what you guys want to do there this year.

Now that the "marketing" launch is complete, I want to draw your attention to a sneak preview of Arup Nanda's "Oracle Database 11g: Top New Features for DBAs and Developers" series. It will give you an idea of the breadth and depth of the new 11g feature set (and of the accompanying series). You can also explore 11g Technical Product Information (Tech WPs etc.) here.Arup's enthusiasm for the new change assurance functionality in the Oracle Real Application Testing option...

The AppsLab team strikes again: they've made a new search bar available for MetaLink searches. Any Oracle professional (with a support contract of course) will find this extremely useful.As a bonus, late-release Oracle EBS users (11+) with FF 2.0 installed can send selected text strings directly tothe search box with a right-click. So, next time you get an unfamiliar error, just right-click it to fire off a MetaLink search, with no typing required. Nice!

The discussion of business IT often veers into can't-see-the-forest-for-the-trees territory, where it's easy to forget just how cool and exciting this stuff can be. That's why Dispatches From the Hyperlocal Future, scifi writer Bruce Sterling's brilliant bit of not-so-speculative fiction (in the July issue of Wired), should be required reading, not just for those in IT, but especially for those on the business side of the house. Sterling's short story, presented as a...

The "three amigos" of Oracle AppsLab - Paul Pedrazzi, Jake Kuramoto, Rich Manalang - have done Oracle a great service with their internally deployed "Oracle Idea Factory". (AppsLab is already required reading BTW, and not just for Oracle wonks. Thought leadership is in high evidence there.)With this service, product managers across the org are suggesting new Oracle Apps features and functionality, rating other suggestions, and offering comments as well, with the...

We've re-organized the blogs.oracle.com homepage by topic area. You like?It was just becoming too difficult to wade through all the item-by-item descriptions (most of which were repetitive). You'll also note an expanded aggregator.IMO it's an improvement, but if I get enough screaming and yelling for a rollback, that's fine too.Of course, OTN Semantic Web Beta is still the best way to navigate the blogosphere, even if it does aggregate only a subset of these blogs.
