OpenWorld Cometh

So, we’ll all be making the trip to OpenWorld in a few days.

I’m the only one on the team actually flying, but if you’re familiar with Bay Area traffic, you could argue that we’re all traveling (vs. commuting).

Anyway, I’m not sure of my exact itinerary, assuming you care, but due to our recent move to the WebCenter team, I’ll be spending a lot of time in WebCenter sessions. I know, surprise.

If you’re interested in WebCenter (and Portal) sessions at OpenWorld, I highly recommend this page over on OTN that lists all the Portal-related sessions and activities during the big shindig. Peter Moskovits also has a great summary here.

Suffice to say it will be a busier than normal OOW for me. I’m geeked to meet all my new compadres in WebCenter and some customers too, I hope. Plus, it’ll be a great chance to catch up with my team and the other usual suspects I only see at OOW.

So, if you’re going to be at OOW, and you want to meetup, I’ll likely be at the OTN Lounge when I’m not in sessions, or stop by the blogger meetup on Tuesday night. Or, Plan C, drop a comment or tweet @ me (jkuramot) with alternate ideas.

I’m guessing the posts will slow down next week, as I’m consumed by the OpenWorld experience, but I’ll be tweeting random observations and possibly interesting stuff if you’re interested.

In homage to Chet (and his absence), I’m packing my ORACLENERD shirt, but I’m wondering if I’ll find an opportunity to wear it. Employees are expected to dress business casual, but I might be able to swing a wardrobe change for a casual evening meetup.

My feet will be begging for mercy by then anyway.

See you there.
