Rittman Mead at Oracle Open World 2007, San Francisco

It's just a couple of days now before we fly over to San Francisco for Oracle Open World, and as usual we're taking part in quite a few of the events over the five days.

On Sunday, I'm chairing the ODTUG BI&DW SIG Meeting at 11am in Moscone West 3010 & 3012 (session S293003), Jon will also be there along with Jean-Pierre Dijcks (OWB Product Manager), Alaric Thomas (Hyperion Product Manager) and Aydin Gencler (Oracle Business Intelligence Product Manager) who'll be able to answer all your questions on the future direction of each of their product areas. After the ODTUG BI&DW SIG, I'll be going along to the Oracle ACE Director Briefing, with a session with the Fusion Middleware PMs first of all followed by one with the database PMs. After that, it's the ACE Dinner which is usually a good chance to catch up with people such as Tom Kyte, Tim Hall, Arup Nanda, Laurent Schneider and Steven Feuerstein.

Our main presentation is on Tuesday at 3.15pm in Moscone 301:

Other than that, I'm doing a video podcast with SearchOracle.com on the latest trends in Oracle BI & Data Warehousing on Wednesday (I'll link to it when it's published), and both Jon and I will be attending the various Oracle BI, Hyperion, OWB and Oracle Database sessions over the five days, and popping down to the demo grounds to talk to the various Oracle PMs about what's coming up with the various products. If you see us wandering around during the conference, be sure to say hello, otherwise it's a final day up in London for me tomorrow before starting to pack for SF.
