Oracle OpenWorld 2014

This year has passed by faster than I would have liked.  If you can tell by the sparatic posting in my blog.  But yet again, Oracle OpenWorld 2014 is upon us.  This the largest gathering of Oracle professionals in the world held every year in San Francisco, CA.

I have been selected to present twice, which is really exciting.  The first session is in conjunction with my favorite user group IOUG.  For those not familure, user groups are external organizations not run by Oracle, that have independent leaders, and are focused on helping their members through leraning, sharing, mentoring, and networking.  The IOUG also provides access to Oracle internal resourcses through it's Special Interest Groups or SiG's.  The SIG range from hardware to software for Oracle and provides a voice for it's members to sway Oracle product and support.

So back to my presentations:

Sunday, Sep 28, 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM PDT- Moscone South - 308

In this session I'll be joined by a panel of Oracle experts reconized in the industry and by Oracle through their ACE program; Kirby McCord, Charles Kim, Kai Yu, and Tariq Farooq.  We will be doing a panel discussion or debate on modern infrastructuer architecture.  What if you could build your data center from scratch?  Would you go all cloud?  How about engineered systems?  Maybe low cost commodity hardware and virtulization?  
This will be a condensed version of the two hour session we did at Collaborate (the user group conference), see my previous post about that session.  Bring your questions and lets get the conversation started.

The second session is in conjunction with Oracle

Tuesday, Sep 30, 3:45 PM - 4:30 PM PDT - Moscone South - 270

Here again I'll be on a panel joined by fellow users of the Exalogic platform discussion our experineces with running Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) on Oracle Engineered systems.  Specifically we will be talking about the impact on system reliability.  Hear from existing customers on the Exalogic platform, how they have adopted the engineered system into their application ecosystem.

Through conferences and user groups I have had the pleasure to meet many of the experts in the field and work with them on volunteer opportunities.  I'm excited to be at OpenWorld again, and I look forward to seeing you there.
