Go Big or Go Home
- by Justin Kestelyn
The Oracle Develop
conference (#oracledevelop10), being co-located for
the first time ever with JavaOne in San Francisco, is guaranteed to be
the ultimate rush for developers this year. Where else can you go to
learn about, interact with, and meet fellow devotees of the entire
Oracle Development stack (welcome, Oracle Solaris)?
This will also be the first time that the community space traditionally
located at Oracle OpenWorld - and hosted by Oracle Technology Network,
as always - will be present at the "developer" conference during this
busy week. So, Oracle OpenWorld's loss is Oracle Develop's gain.
And what a community space it will be: nearly 4,000 square feet for
meeting space, contests and give-aways, consumption of various
beverages, special speakers (Oracle ACEs among them, no doubt), and
video-casting. The entire Oracle Technology Network crew will be on
hand to "facilitate" your experience, of course. Even better, you can
rub shoulders and share war stories with attendees from that "other"
conference, JavaOne. (You have access to both conferences as a single
package, so you may be having a conversation with yourself.)
We call the whole enchilada "The Zone". As time goes on, we'll bring
you more news about the activities described above, as well as OTN
Night (which proves to be more raucous than ever), technical sessions
and keynotes not to be missed, the unconference/open sessions, things
to do at night, and more. In the meantime, stay in touch with us via Twitter or Oracle Mix.
