There are so many people here that virtually every demo pod is guaranteed some level of steady traffic, but after a few trips around the floor I can confidently point out a few stand-outs from the attendee-interest perspective:XML PublisherThe audience composition and frequent mentions of this product in keynotes has helped, but there's no denying that people love this thing. (The demogrounds staff was today forced to open a new pod to accommodate the traffic.) If you're not...

I am sitting here in the OTN Lounge, as part of the Underground theme it has been hidden on the ground floor of Moscone West - only the determined with good connections find it. If you are interested in taking a break from OpenWorld come crash on the bean bags, watch a movie, pick up your copy of OTN's Greatest Hits 2005, or get up close with one of the visiting oracle experts. You could also help us out with the OTN website usability test if you have 20min to spare and are...

Don't you just love it when cool new technology lives up to the hype ?or at least closely approxiamates it. Just before OpenWorld I fitted a new Rack to my wife's prius. I've managed to get 51.8 MPG a little short of the advertised 60MPG - still that is at least 2.5 times better than the old non-hybrid engine that I traded in.At OpenWorld 2005 I dropped in on the Extreme RAC sessions, they had over 200 machines going with at least another 100 people waiting to get on, and...

Just caught the Charles Phillips keynote on a hallway monitor. Forget about getting into the keynote hall; here's the scene:The key point in my view:- Oracle is fully embracing the SOA model to the extent that customers should feel free to "use somebody else's" solution (whether it be a portal, identity management layer, app server, etc.) in the IT stack whenever it makes sense to do that. In fact, Phillips announced that Oracle packaged applications *will run natively* on...

The attendees are streaming into SF this afternoon; many are already here for the pre-conference X-treme sessions, especially the RAC one in which participants have been literally building their own RAC clusters throughout the weekend.
