In little over a month I will be in Las Vegas speaking at Collaborate 10. There is a lot of BI / DW talks this year and for the first time with BIWA Training Days branding. Rittman Mead will be there at the conference giving talks on each of the conference days. If you are [...]

Earlier this week, Sun employees received a copy of Oracle’s Social Media Participation Policy (which covers blogging, twittering, web video, et al). Today, I am beginning to see some posts (example) that cast this policy in a less than positive light, when compared to the Sun policy.
