Speaking Engagements in March 2008 March 10
Ernst and I spoke at the Northeast Oracle User’s Group Training Day last Thursday. We were really expecting more of a turnout, as it happened, there were about 75 attendees and about 10 attended our session. They were expecting 200 attendees and blamed the weather on the poor turnout. I suppose the weather was pretty bad in the morning, it was raining so hard that a few roads were actually shut down due to flooding. However, this is New England we are talking about, it should be no less than a Nor ‘Easter to slow things down.
Tomorrow we speak at the New York Oracle User’s Group general meeting. Hopefully the turnout there will be a little better.
Ernst needed some more technical “meat” in his presentation so I agreed to extract some of the technical overview in my presentation for ODTUG and present it as the second portion in his presentation. It turned out to be a decent presentation with a nice overview of where Oracle Forms is headed and what customers options are combined with an overview of where ADF is now and why it is a good choice for customers looking to move their applications.
I will be doing a very similar presentation to the one I will be presenting at ODTUG in Georgia on the 24th of March for the Georgia Oracle User’s Group. This one is actually a conference so it should be a little more lively than the other two. Also, since Ernst isn’t presenting, I’m doing more of a straight technical talk to try it out for ODTUG in June.
If any of you are able to make the trip, I encourage you to check out the talks. If you show up and let me know you heard about it on this blog then I’ll make sure you get a very cool Vgo Software t-shirt.
