The next meeting of the UKOUG Business Intelligence & Reporting Tools Special Interest Group is on October 8th, 2008 at the Hilton Hotel Paddington. We've got a special line up this meeting with an extended session by Michelle Bird from Oracle on the new features coming in OWB 11gR2, plus we've got sessions by myself on the technology behind the Oracle BI Applications, one on Oracle Business Intelligence for PeopleSoft, a session by Inatech on Oracle BI and Oracle Application Express, and a session by IBM on driving green initiatives using Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.

This SIG meeting is also a special one for me, as I'm standing down as the BIRT SIG Chair. I've chaired the SIG now for around five years and my feeling was that it was time for someone else to have a go, as it's always good to shake things up once in a while. I'll still be coming along to the SIG meetings and if I think I've got enough time free next year, I'd be interested in standing for the board so that I can get involved in a more directional role. Anyway, here's the meeting agenda.
