Late again

I know, I know, I said that I would do this live, and here I am a day tardy.  I will try harder today.

Volunteer day

Saturday is always Kscope’s volunteer day.  This year was actually focused on technology so the typical unskilled-labor-is-best-for-Cameron-as-he-is-hopeless event didn’t happen.  

Brekkers

Here’s the kickoff to the day.  Yes, ODTUG feeds you, just the first of the very best extant Oracle conference.

Dear Leader

Monty is hard to miss:  the cowboy hat, the cowboy boots, the Texas accent, the larger than life personality, and did I mention he’s a really great ODTUG president?  This is the kickoff where the geeks get their direction.

And the geeks breaking off to their STEM stations.

Riding that bike

I was the part of the team that used muscle power to generate electricity and then to the really important thing – smoothies.  Yes, they taste better when you make the blender spin.  It’s also good to be at least moderately fit.  I wish I had my heart monitor on.

Here’s my good buddy Joe Aultman about to take up the mantle of a riding a bike that might not be totally suited to his height.

Presentations

Yes, yr. obt. svt. is presenting with Tim German aka @CubeCoderDotCom.   Here we are rehearsing, with @henry_robin providing a critique.

And that’s it for Saturday

OMG, I am already exhausted.  We’ll see if I can manage to get a wee bit of sleep before the rest of the week wipes me out.

Today, 21 June

The Sunday Symposiums are one of the greatest parts of Kscope.  Oracle Product Management part the curtains and talk about the product roadmaps.  This session is safe harbored and we are not allowed to blog or tweet about the session so you will see some people pictures but no product details.  More’s the pity if you aren’t here.

The EPM content Big Wig

Here’s Opal Alapat, aka @opal_EPM about to kick off the sessions that I am not allowed to talk about.  Did I mention that you should be here?  To those of you who have twigged onto the value of the Sunday Symposiums, huzzah.  For those of you have not…tsk, tsk, tsk.

That’s all for now

What I can write about, I will, but as noted my hands are somewhat tied.

Be seeing you.
