Something Cool from OpenWorld

Published on November 19th, 2007 5 Comments

I forgot to mention this in my OpenWorld recap post, but it’s probably just as well. It might have been lost with the rest of the content. Dan Norris was talking about what he does, apparently he works, and he mentioned the Fall Saver. I guess Dan works with Piocon, and Piocon won a Titan [...]

Back from OpenWorld

Published on November 19th, 2007 22 Comments

Sure, I got back from OpenWorld last Thursday, but I’m only now willing to get back in the saddle and blog about it. As I mentioned to a few of the Enterprise Irregulars who attended, OpenWorld is a marathon. Imagine a full day sessions, quietly sitting and listening, tons of walking around San Francisco, meeting [...]

Off to OpenWorld

Published on November 10th, 2007 3 Comments

I’m headed out to San Francisco early tomorrow morning and will be around the event all day, probably on Twitter. I’m debating whether to take both the Macbook and PC. The Macbook’s battery life is a huge plus, whereas the PC can barely get booted on a full charge, which is annoying at best.  The [...]

Twitter + OpenWorld and More

Published on November 8th, 2007 15 Comments

It seems like Twitter will be part of OpenWorld, if Eddie and I have anything to do with it. Floyd says he’s making his first foray into Twiterville at OpenWorld. He’s soliciting questions OAUG Fusion Council Panel on Sunday afternoon. So, tweet away with your questions. Tim, on the other hand, doesn’t get Twitter and [...]

Cool Stuff is Happening

Published on November 8th, 2007 20 Comments

If you read this blog, you’ll know I use Twitter, as do many of the people I interact with virtually. Recently, Twitter and its use created a strange alliance that is a powerful case study for new web collaboration. This alliance made up of a person from SAP, a person from Oracle, an Oracle customer, [...]

AppsLab Meetup

As we roll towards OpenWorld next week, it’s key to have each evening planned as well as the days. After all, conferences are a great chance to catch up with old friends, make new ones and put a real world face to a digital voice. In that spirit, join us at the AppsLab meetup, which [...]

Eddie has a great post today, detailing how to send pictures to the Oracle OpenWorld 2007 Flickr group. Just send an email to future09ideas at photos dot flickr dot com. You [...]

More OpenWorld Blogger Updates

Published on November 2nd, 2007 15 Comments

Dennis pinged me over Twitter asking for keynote details for OpenWorld. So, I figured rather than talk about the elephant in the room, i.e. OpenSocial about which I know nothing, honestly, I would avoid the subject. First, the official OpenWorld Agenda and Show Guide is available here. This is exactly the same one you’ll get [...]

Yet Another OpenWorld Blogger Update

Published on November 1st, 2007 Leave a Comment

This week has been a feverish rush to put the finishing touches on all things OpenWorld. Next week will be more of the same. Rich needs a hug, poor guy. Make sure you give him one when you see him at OOW. There’s a good chance I may consume the entire budget we have a [...]

Seriously, We Want Bloggers at OpenWorld

Published on October 30th, 2007 52 Comments

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 [...]

OpenWorld Blogger Update

Published on October 27th, 2007 1 Comment

So, a few updates for those interested in attending OpenWorld as a blogger. The registration process is now working, and we have a few confirmed attendees, including Vinnie and Jeff, who have also graciously offered to help plan the agenda for bloggers, which I think is still in the works. Because of the sheer number [...]

A Can of Worms

Published on October 15th, 2007 62 Comments

If there was any remaining doubt that this blog has slipped into Seinfeld territory, I am sealing the deal by blogging about the comments on a seemingly innocent post from Friday called “Bloggers at OpenWorld“. The issue at hand is about providing recompense for time lost/expenses incurred for attendees. Here are the arguments in no [...]

Bloggers at OpenWorld

I’m happy to announce that Oracle OpenWorld this year will be open to bloggers for the first time. Oracle has extended an invitation to leaders in the blogging community, who can come experience the pageantry of an entire city block covered by a huge tent (oh and the conference). Qualified bloggers can register for OpenWorld [...]

AppsLab on Oracle Techcasts

Published on August 27th, 2007 5 Comments

Justin recently published an interview podcast he did with Paul to the Oracle Techcasts. Have a listen if you want to know where we came from, what we’re doing, or just want to hear what Paul and Justin sound like. Paul already blogged about it, so I’m not adding any value, just boosting Justin’s trackbacks. [...]

My QuickConnect Card for OpenWorld

Published on August 18th, 2007 5 Comments

Jumping on the bandwagon, I’ve created my very own QuickConnect Card for OOW this year. Eddie and Carl have cards as well. I think this is the first time we’ve had something like this for OOW, and it seems like a good way to “schedule” ad hoc meetings with people that will be at Moscone. [...]
