Reminder - UKOUG BIRT SIG meeting

... is on Wednesday October 8th. Mark will be speaking and I will be there with the Rittman Mead  stand, so if you are at the meeting just come up and say "hello".

This is the last BIRT SIG meeting of the year, but BI is, of course, going to be big part a big part of the annual UKOUG conference in December; this year Rittman Mead have five sessions on the agenda and a presence in the exhibition hall.

At the same time as the UKOUG conference the BIWA Summit is being held over at Redwood Shores. There will be a Rittman Mead speaker at this event too- me! I will be talking about Oracle 11g OLAP as a summary management technique for data warehouses, and comparing it with some of the GROUP BY extensions that Mark blogged about last month.
