Oracle + Open Source: Events Archives

Speaking at Collaborate 2007

I'm very excited to announce that my talk In bed with Oracle - Lifting The Covers On Database Creation
has been selected by IOUG for their Collaborate 2007. The conference will be held this April in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The talk will discuss database creation. Because of better GUI tools, this has become a more & more overlooked area of Oracle. We pull back the covers, revealing what Oracle is doing at each stage. Why do we have startup nomount, mount, restrict, and open? What OS resources is Oracle using at each step? How do we issue CREATE DATABASE? What is the simplest init.ora file? How many file descriptors does Oracle use and why? From conception to birth, our microscope will reveal the secrets.

Ferrazzi Speaking at 92nd Street Y

Keith Ferrazzi, author of the great book on networking Never Eat Alone and a blog by the same name will be speaking next week at the 92nd Street Y.

If you're an independent consultant, business manager, or just about anyone who wants their career to move, networking is a pretty important skill. If you can't make his talk, I'd recommend the book. It's good reading, and full of a lot of great insights.

BarCampNYC - Good Stuff

BarCamp NYC was quite an event last weekend. All 100+ attendees presented something they were working on or contributed to someone else's presentation. Very participatory, very adhoc, spontaneous, and best of all full of insights, ideas, and new friends.

I saw a presentation on Glypho a collaborative writing, and creativity site by Ambika Sukia, talked with Morgan Friedman head of Diseno Porteno and the brains behind Overheard in NY. Also talked to Danny Wen behind SuperGlu and Iridesco. Also saw Wendy Seltzer present on MythTV.

Thanks go out to Amit Gupta and Mike Goelzer for throwing such a great event!
