[Video] Shop, Dine, and Play in Monterey – ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2009
Yesterday, ODTUG had a special event: Shop, Dine, and Play in Monterey. Conference attendees were offered a free shuttle service to take us around town.
I have never been in Monterey before so this was a great opportunity. I also wanted to see the Monterey Bay Aquarium but too bad it was closed.
Here is a short video I took during our little adventure in this nice beach town:

While on our way to attend the Fusion keynote presentation by Steve Miranda, Oracle SVP of Application Development, Lewis and I met up with Justin. Then we caught up with Steven Feuerstein who was just finishing up his running exercise.
I took this opportunity to shoot the following video which also shows other Oracle ACEs and ODTUG Kaleidoscope attendees waiting for the keynote to start.
By the way, Steven won the ODTUG lifetime achievement award. Congratulations!

It’s a secret. I cannot talk about it because I, and all the Oracle ACE Directors who attended the product briefing at Oracle HQ yesterday, signed a Non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Is it a game console? is it something else? Can’t say. However, I can show you the video below and refer you to this Twitter stream.
In the following video, you will see the Oracle ACE Directors in the briefing room, eating, drinking and then riding a bus to head down to Monterey to attend ODTUG Kaleidoscope:
Can you name the Oracle ACE Directors that you recognize in the video?

The Oracle Development Tool User Group (ODTUG) is an independent, not-for-profit global organization providing education, support, advocacy, and networking opportunities for all developers, using a variety of technologies, who work on Oracle Databases.
ODTUG’s annual conference, ODTUG Kaleidoscope, is considered the premier conference for developers in the Oracle community. This year the conference is going to be held in Monterey, California on June 21st and lasts until the 25th.
I have never attended ODTUG Kaleidoscope before. But this year I will be there.
Before heading down to Monterey, I will attend the Oracle ACE Director product briefing at Oracle HQ in Redwood Shores on Friday, June 19th.
I have just used the schedule builder to select the sessions I want to attend. There are many interesting sessions. I want to attend all of them… if only I could be in more than one place at once!
