Hi All, At this stage, we are closed to accepting any new content. The only way to suggest new content is through Oracle Mix. Right now all of our content is determined and up on the website in our Content Catalog. Mix is the only thing that will be added to existing content. Thanks for your question.

Mix is the only way I know of to submit session topics right now. The call for 2008 sessions is probably long past. I'm not in Marketing, but I'll see if I can drum up an answer for you.

Is MIX the only way to submit the topics ? Or the Mix will have certain slots blocked for top sessions ? If the later is true, do you know how else we can submit topics directly to ORacle ? in the past, there used to be a CALL for papers. I didn't see the request for this year yet. Did i miss something?

The Events team are all out attending an internal event. Still trying to hunt down the answer.

Last I have heard they have as much 25 slots for this sessions. I'm going to get somebody to give you more details today. Or ask your question directly on the Open World Blog http://blogs.oracle.com/oracleopenworld/. I'm sure somebody will answer the question there as well.

Actually, I don't really know any details. The Events team is handling the process; we're just the conduit. Here's what I've heard: there are a bunch of spots allocated for the top X vote getters.

I don't think veto power has been discussed, but it might be case-by-case. Sessions with no presenters may be a problem, so at least add thoughts on possible presenters to make it easier.

I suspect there will be more communication from the Events team, possibly on the OpenWorld blog as the voting ends.

Jake, do you have any comments on the selection process please? How many presentations will be picked, does Oracle have veto, what if there is no proposed presenter etc?

Thanks,

CM.
