Busy Times Are Afoot

Lots going on here in AppsLab land and in Oracle Applications User Experience (@usableapps). This here is a recap post.

Showing the Oracle Applications User Experience Roadmap to Oracle’s Asia Partners

At the beginning of May, Anthony (@anthonyslai) and Raymond joined a large contingent of the OAUX team in an two-stop tour of Asia. The first stop was Singapore.

Here’s the dynamic duo in action, setting up our demos to show to a large group of Oracle partners.

For a full download of the event, be sure to read Misha’s (@mishavaughan) recap post.

Laying out the Oracle Applications User Experience Strategy for Partners in Beijing

After Singapore, the team headed to Beijing for more partner events, and as you can, the turnout was phenomenal.

Misha has a full debrief of the Beijing leg of the tour as well.

IoT Hackathon in Guadalajara

Even though Noel (@noelportugal) was bummin he didn’t get to go to Singapore and China, his spirits brightened when Laurie (@lsptahoe) asked him to serve as a mentor for her Internet of Things (IoT) hackathon in Guadalajara.

That’s his happy face, as he sits in his mobile IoT lab. Check out his pet Amazon Echo there in the front. That case is full of goodies. Note the soldering iron.

Laurie has a full review of the event, and you can read about the AppsLab team’s entry here.

Coming Soon

We’ll get a brief respite, then come several conferences.

Next week, Thao (@thaobnguyen) and John will be attending Eyeo (@eyeofestival), as in the festival, not the Google conference (@googledevs). Anthony will be at that one, i.e. Google I/O, so look for his recap here next week.

On June 8, OHUG 2015 begins, and several of us will be attending, doing research and testing. Gozel (@gozelaamoth) has a full rundown.

And hey, I’ll be presenting with Aylin Uysal (@aylinuysal); our session is called Oracle HCM Cloud User Experiences: Designed for Work Styles across Devices, and it’s Tuesday, June 9 at 1 PM. So, come by if you’ll be at the show.

In mid-June, Anthony and John head to the UK for the OUAB meeting, specifically to present and demo some of the team’s visualizations work.

Near the end of the month comes KScope 15 (#kscope15), and several of us will be going.  We have something special planned for ODTUG’s (@odtug) annual get-together. Stay tuned for details.

Consider yourself current.
