Oracle Blogger Meetup and Oracle Ace Dinner Photos
In the past couple of days, I attended two special events. Here are the photos from the Oracle blogger meetup (Mohan has more here), and here are the ones from the Oracle Ace dinner.
I know that you want to put names on the faces. So, if you see yourself in any of the pictures, please join the Oracle OpenWorld 2008 Flickr group and then you will have the option to add a note (your name and blog URL) to your face like what I did on this picture.

I made it! I finally finished building my Oracle OpenWorld 2008 schedule. It was not an easy task, believe me. If I had multiple Eddie Awad clones, I would have been much happier. I will arrive in San Francisco on Sunday, September 21st around noon, so unfortunately I’ll miss half of the Oracle ACE Director product briefing.
There are a few interesting sessions over at the Unconference that I would like to attend too, so I may have some last minute changes to my schedule.
By the way, check out the Oracle OpenWorld 2008 Group on OracleCommunity.net. Make sure you join the group if you’re attending.
See you all in a few days.

Are you an Oracle-related blogger? Are you attending Oracle OpenWorld this year? If you answered yes to both questions, then you are invited to attend the yearly blogger meetup at the ThirstyBear Restaurant and Brewery, Sunday September 21 at 7:00 PM.
Mark Rittman has been the person organizing the blogger meetup events for the past few years. Mark passed the torch to me and I gladly volunteered to organize this year’s special event.
Like in 2007, OTN is sponsoring our get-together by establishing a tab at the bar, so there will complementary drinks and appetizers for a while (Thanks Justin, Vikki and Lillian).
If you would like to attend, make sure you RSVP on the event’s page on OracleCommunity.net.
See you…

The title says it all. Grab the presentations from www28.cplan.com/cc176/catalog.jsp. There are still empty slots, but pretty soon I expect them to fill up. Last year’s presentations are no more available, so make sure you download and save the ones that you’re interested in before they are taken offline.
Oh, and by the way, you need a username and a password: cboracle/oraclec6 (same as last year’s).

Update: Tom Kyte’s presentation Top 11 things about 11g is not yet posted, but you can download it from the files section of asktom.oracle.com, along with a few others.

Met with Dan Norris, Laurent Schneider, Andrew Clarke and others at OTN Night:

Attended Tom Kyte’s session about Oracle database 11g new features:
Went to the Oracle blogger meetup organized by Mark Rittman:
During the blogger meetup, Ameed Taylor introduced me to the Enterprise Irregulars bloggers who were just a couple of tables away. I did a quick podcast with them about their meeting with Oracle Co-President Charles Phillips. But, alas, the podcast recording was lost (grrr! never trust a web2.0 beta service). However, I managed to snap a picture:
Two more days to go…
