Today was a great day, full of energy and enthusiasm.
-Motivational Speaker/Opening Keynote by Dan Thurman: I was double-booked due to work and could not attend having to take a few work related calls. I heard great things though later on catching up with people who attended this. Great way to pump up before the show and give everyone a few nuggets to think about.
-A good blend of sessions on several areas - Quest, IOUG and OAUG all providing excellent content on Core Technologies, Applications and Middleware threads. Lots of great functional sessions as well as well as sessions on professional development threads.
-Cloud Computing Keynote by Oracle SVP's Steve Miranda and Joanne Olsen:
This was a great session, while Mr. Hurd could not make it - he sent a message over video. What I liked the most about this session was the two person format - Steve and Joanne made it very natural and came across as advocates and very relaxed. It was definitely not a high pressure marketing based keynote, although they shared really good perspectives about Oracle's Cloud Journey and Strategy.
-Exadata and Exalogic as private cloud enablers.
-Fusion Applications as a SaaS, On-Premise and Hybrid models - with customer testimonials and modules and functional areas covered. Steve and Joanne explained co-existence of Fusion and Apps Unlimited (existing EBUS, Peoplesoft and JDE)
This was followed by:
-Exhibitor Booth Area with good refreshments and interesting booths etc.
-GeekFest in the evening for the very technically inclined.
That was a full-day. Onto to polish the slides for tomorrow and that would take me to Day 3
