I hate to beat a dead horse, but frankly, I’ve had precious few topics lately. To clarify:
We want bloggers to attend and cover OpenWorld, November 11-15, in San Francisco.
My PR guru and I had a call with Jeff and Vinnie this morning to discuss their thoughts on a blogger program and talk about items they (and their compadres in the Enterprise Irregulars) would like to discuss at OOW.
Guys like Jeff, Vinnie, Dennis, Michael and Zoli were vocal when we announced that bloggers would be invited and receive free registration for OOW this year. So, we’ve been working with them. This does not mean they are the only ones invited.
In fact, there is no invitation list, only a list we used as a starting point. Registration and attendance is open, with only minor caveats.
1) You are a blogger.
2) You blog about Oracle, enterprise software, Enterprise 2.0 or another loosely-coupled subject.
If you fit those minimal criteria and want to attend, please register as “Press”. Seriously. That’s all. Jeff and Vinnie seemed surprised that there is not a white list, and even more so that there is not a black list. Neither exist, as far as I know.
Also, PR has discovered Twitter and may soon be tweeting at you. Incidentally, why doesn’t Vinnie twitter?
I have also heard that Terrance and team may host a pre-OOW demo of the Reports Repository, which I mentioned the other day, targeted at both bloggers attending OOW and at bloggers who cannot attend (ahem, Dennis).
If you’re interested, drop a note in comments. I will blog the details when they become available.
Hi,
Yes, I qualify for this offer and I would like to take this opportunity but for me it was announced too late.
1. I do not have US visa
2. I’ve other plans, that are hard to change
3. Traveling costs are high for me – i need sponsor 🙂
But if this will be still an offer for next year (or for other conference in Europe) than there will be more chances to accept such invitation.
Regards,
Paweł

Hmmm I haven’t received any email from OOW.
Perhaps next year.

No emails from Oracle OpenWorld?

Pawel: I can’t speak for PR, but I hope the blogger program will become a fixture for OpenWorld events all over the world.
Anil: Did you register for OOW as press? If not, you should do so first.

You guys are doing a great job to make OOW blogger-friendly. It’s hard to accomplish something like that, and I wanted to say thank you.

I can not believe that you have run out of things to say, still you are quite quiet and introverted – in the UK you would be flogging the horse not beating it !o)

Michael: You’re welcome, and I hope you’re planning to attend. It should be a fun time.
Tim: You know I haven’t run out, just short on things I can say. Where have you been? Rockies-induced depression?

Have to admit I did not watch any of the games after the first drubbing by the Sox. They had just too long a break and by then the Sox were on a roll – it was a forgone conclusion :o(

First, let me say it’s a wise and welcome move to start a program encouraging relevant bloggers to attend OOW. Granted, many of us don’t think it’s perfect. That’s okay, I’m sure we’ll work out the kinks incrementally as things move forward. Nevertheless, this is a very good start – keep it going!
Second, I’d really like to attend that demo of the Reports Repository. Please blog the details as they become available.

Shyam: I will get you on the list of bloggers. Jason Corsello (humancapitalist.com) will be on a panel and wants to be part of the blogger program as well.
Floyd: Will do if/when I get details.

So I started blogging about a month ago. I’ve already registered for OpenWorld and paid for it. Would I get a refund if I qualify for this?

Great! Not expecting anything (obviously) but that would leave room in my training budget to get to another Oracle class.

I’ve been getting my usual vendor emails about Oracle Open World. I plan on blogging. I’ll attempt to register as press, anybody in particular that I need to contact?
