IOUG Forum at Collaborate09
Wow…finally. The latest and greatest Oracle user event has finally started. It is amazing to see all of the folks that are here. There is nothing that truly replaces the face to face interaction that these types of events offer.
The conference kicked off with the general session that was delivered by Charles Phillips. Of course the Presidents of each user group (me for the IOUG, Ray Payne for OAUG and Sue Shaw for Quest) were all up there introducing Charles and thanking everyone for coming. Considering the reduction in business travel these days we appreciate the folks that were able to attend.
Charles Phillips opened the event by discussing numerous items including new release of Beehive (Oracle’s collaboration tool), BI Applications, more and free extended support of Oracle products and a new eBusiness Suite release. And Charles restated Oracle’s support  of the user community and its shown by their active partnership at the event.
In addition the IOUG is offering to all those individuals who could not attend in person the chance to be part the event. We are hosting 35 sessions that run throughout the conference to people in-person here and streaming it in an interactive manner to people in the virtual world. Â This is the first hybrid event and on day one it has been working great.
On to a BI Panel for the BIWA SIG. Later

[...] I’ve been meaning to write up my thoughts from this years IOUG Collaborate event. Ian Abramson, the president of the IOUG, has a nice series of write ups on the event itself – starting with day 1 through day 3 and then a wrap-up post. He describes it as a three day event – but to me it is more of a four day thing. For the last couple of years, I’ve done a university day at Collaborate – so once again I spent all day Sunday May 3rd in a conference center talking about Oracle for eight hours. This year I talked about Encryption, all of the Flashback technologies, Read & Write Consistency (a really nice way to introduce the flashback stuff actually, sort of a pre-requisite) and Database Reorganizations (when to, when not to and when you have to – how to).
