Available for Download Now: Oracle OpenWorld 2007 Presentations

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.

Recorded a podcast with Justin Kestelyn. Take a listen here.

Attended OTN Night:

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

Met Jake and Rich from OracleAppsLab and talked about mix.oracle.com and how it can benefit Oracle users groups. More on that later (Thanks Jake for the lunch):

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…
