As reported by Floyd, most of the Oracle OpenWorld 2006 presentations (PPT and PDF files) are currently available for download.

Here is an interesting fact: Out of the 174 bloggers aggregated by OraNA, only 7 are female bloggers. That’s a poor 4% of the total Oracle blogsphere.

The most important new feature is the Oracle blogs search. Using Google custom search, I have created a search engine that lets you search all the blogs aggregated by OraNA. By all I mean more than 136 Oracle related blogs plus all the blogs hosted at […]

I’m in San Francisco now. Here is a short video about my short trip from Portland. I’m planning on posting a few more Oracle OpenWorld videos during the next few days (in other words, I’ll be video blogging).

Similar to last year’s group, I have created the Oracle OpenWorld 2006 Flickr group. It is a central repository of OOW06 photos.
