My OOW15 Trip Is Complete

I’m leaving Open World 2015 a day early. I managed to pack in an awful lot of activity into the three days I was here and I met up with some very nice people. I expect that my OOW experience was similar to many others. There was so much to do and not enough time. But I’m happy to be going home as well.

I spent most of my Monday attending sessions and learning about the exciting new changes coming out in Oracle 12cR2 (due to be released in 2016).There was a lot of talk about cloud, Cloud and more CLOUD, which is no surprise. “On-Prem” is now a new word I learned this week. I blogged about 12.2’s new Sharding capabilities, which I think will be a big deal down the road. The ability to add sharding to the world’s #1 database will only make the engine more competitive. There are a number of new RAC features coming as well. Some of these made my head spin but I’m sure I’ll make sense of it sooner or later. One of the sessions I attended today even discussed some new Data Guard features.

I never once visited any vendor booth on the exhibition floor, which was a first for me. I never saw any vendors that I really wanted to talk to and part of it is because I was so busy doing other things. In the Exhibition Hall, I did spend some time on the Demo Grounds. I like these because, as I tweeted out, this gives me a chance to ask pointed questions out a specific feature. Most people like to use the Demo Grounds to get a little demo of that feature. But typically for me, I’ve already seen the feature or been exposed to it, but I like to learn just a bit more about that feature and the expert is right there just waiting for me to ask.

Its always good to put a face with the name. And there were some people I wanted to meet up with but our collective schedules didn’t quite allow it. I was invited to a meetup event where I was able to interact with people that I know from the OTN or MOSC communities. All the people there I knew from these forums over the years but had never had a face to face discussion with so it was nice to talk them in person. The collection of people in the room spanned a number of countries all over the world and their expertise covered many different areas of the forums, so we had quite the diverse group.

I wanted to get to more of the Oak Table World events, but I only got to one: Christian Antognini’s discussion about Adaptive Dynamic Sampling. Next time I’ll try to get a few more of these as I’m sure all of them are excellent.

And then there are all of the things that I did not do. Oh well..maybe next time! I’m not sure if I’ll make it back for OOW16, but if not, then OOW17 for sure.

    1. Yes. Great to meet you as well! I’m sure our paths will cross again, definitely on the OTN forums! 🙂
