Andreas' Adventures

Although Oracle Open World is behind us I still need to put some content about this on the site. Let me start with the fun part - the Oracle ACE Dinner. Here is a picture of Lillian Buziak, Steven Feuerstein and me at the ACE Dinner: I had a lot of fun but found out too late that the barkeepers were putting alcohol in the cocktails :#)

While wandering around at Moscone, I bounced into Ronald Rood. Ronald and I had worked together and we had a very good time back then. Apparently without me he has too much spare time so he found the time to write a book on the Oracle Scheduler (http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Oracle-Scheduler-11g-Databases/dp/1847195989) . Tuesday he will be at Moscone signing his book. Meanwhile I have bought another book - on SOA Suite 11gR1. With the current exchange rate of the dollar and an extra 20% discount this was a steal. Hmmmm, maybe I should write a book myself and become famous.

Sunday 08:30 - and the fun starts!!! It is always a tremendous feeling to be at OOW. So many colleagues and people genuinely interested in Oracle. I'm taking my morning fix first with Alex Gorbachev on RAC Workload Management and then I will head from Moscone to the Hilton to see a session on Oracle Service Bus 11g Deep Dive. Stay tuned for more.

After the Oracle Mix voting process was finished two of my five presentations were selected to be presented. I am looking forward to present: The great ESB - OSB - BPEL cook-off and Combining the two coolest things on the world Weblogic and Lego Mindstorms See you all at the Oracle Open World in SF ;-)

I found this on the Oracle OOW2009 blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/oracleopenworld/2009/05/come_fly_with_me.html# I hope that the possibility to fly with Sean Tucker also applies to presenters - who register in a different way than the normal conference attendee. BTW: I just showed the YouTube movie of Sean Tucker to my wife. She just said: "All Oracle people are crazy!". I just replied: "Yes - they are! And this is a good thing ;-) ".
