Had a few beers in London with Carl Dudley last week. As well as being old Learning Tree ‘colleagues’ he’s one of the Directors of the UKOUG. When discussing the Call for Papers for the 2010 UKOUG Tech & EBS conference, it occurred to me that I’d only seen one low-key announcement of the Call [...]
I’m excited to be teaching at Amis for one day next week and the more informal event the previous evening. Registration form is here. Showing my beloved pictures with beer in hand? Sounds perfect although perhaps I should make sure the demos are working correctly before opening the bottle Lots more technical posts to come [...]
Is it really that time already? I’ll be working in London, but for those of you who can make it, this just in from Thomas Presslie … "The annual Scottish Oracle Conference is being held in Glasgow on 27th May 2010. Now with five streams and keynote by David Callaghan, Senior Vice President Oracle, UK, [...]
The agenda for the Michigan Oak Table Symposium is online now and looking at it brings to mind a couple of pub discussions I’ve had lately with those who have never attended a conference and can’t see the benefits as well as those who have thought about it and wondered what it’s like. I reckon [...]
OK, so I know it’s yet-another-advert but hopefully the balance between a few technical posts (finally) and adverts is ok for now. Besides, I only ever post adverts for events that I think will be good and if it’s a mate’s like Peter Robson organising them, so much the better. I think this event looks [...]
Registration for MOTS is now open. If you fancy a couple of days intense learning from some of the best Oracle minds, or simply some chat about Cuddly Toys over a few beers prior to going to Oracle Openworld, sign up now for a mere $450. I talked about it more here. Updated later – [...]
I see the latest event at home is just around the corner. I’ll be away at the Hotsos Symposium so won’t be able to attend, but it looks like good stuff if you can manage to get along to it! Link to the original site
Here a small advert for one of my events scheduled for this year. On the 24th of Februari I will be giving a Masterclass regarding Oracle XMLDB in Germany. To be precise in Dusseldorf, Germany. The following will be addressed, but might you attend, then drop me a line (marco dot gralike at amis dot [...]
I submitted my slides last Friday so the Hotsos Symposium countdown has really started now – I’ll be presenting in just under 4 weeks time. I’m looking forward to it even more than I was for a couple of reasons. 1) I noticed from Kerry Osborne’s blog post that he’s now doing two presentations. I [...]
I know the Hotsos Symposium must be approaching because I’ve been in bed the last couple of days with a cold. Fortunately this one didn’t arrive in the final week of preparation, but it’s still been unpleasant and I could have done without it.* Anyway, I see that the word is finally out about MOTS [...]
