Collaborate 2008 - Oracle Users Conference

The Oracle users conference called collaborate 2008 just wrapped up. This users conference is a collaboration of three key Oracle users groups:
  • Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG) is a users group supporting the technology side of Oracle.
  • Oracle Application Users Group (OAUG) supports users working with Oracle Applications.
  • Quest International Users Group (Quest) supports users working with PeopleSoft, JD Edwards and Oracle Utilities and their complementary products and services.
This conference is the largest Oracle users conference in the world. It allows someone to attend tracks for a specific user group or to attend presentations from different users group.

With my focus on the technology side, I usually attend presentations from the IOUG and then cherry pick key speakers and presentations from OAUG and Quest relating to Oracle Fusion Middleware. The OAUG and Quest both have a lot of presentations in the different Oracle application areas.

All three user groups try very hard to minimize the marketing presentations and focus on presentations related to Oracle technology or functional areas of Oracle applications.

For me, I attended some excellent presentations on the database server from the IOUG and some excellent presentations on Oracle Fusion Middleware from all three groups.

This is an excellent conference to attend with outstanding presentations and tremendous networking opportunities.

Thanks again to all the outstanding volunteers who are the heart and soul of the conference from all three groups.

And special kudos to Executive Editor John Kanagaraj and the Contributing Editors of Select Magazine. Select magazine is voted every year as the number one member benefit of the IOUG. The incredible effort of the Select team results in an outstanding and high regarded product. Way to go John, Tony, Don, Paul, Arup, Andy and April!

    The Trubix Blog is focused on discussions on strategic directions in database technology and the challenges Oracle technologists are addressing today and in the future. This site will focus on issues and challenges of database management that cannot be resolved with a code snippet. There are already a lot of great websites out there with tons of code samples. We would like to facilitate more discussions on issues Oracle technologists are dealing with today that a quick search on the Internet cannot solve. There will also be a group of recognized industry leaders that will also participate in this blog. This blog is an extension of the Tim Tam Group, an international group of industry leaders that meet once a year to discuss strategic directions in the industry.
