And it’s awesome
Did you expect anything else? I didn’t. I have ranted and raved before about how big ol’ Oracle lets down its hair and opens a dialog up with us, the people who actually use this stuff.
Marketing drivel? Nope.
Deep product knowledge? This is Kaleidoscope, remember? So, yes. Lots of content, like future direction. And interaction with the audience. And taking notes (that would be Oracle taking notes, btw, not yr. obdnt. srvnt. Did I not use the word "awesome"?) And meeting and greeting your fellow EPM geeks. What’s not to like?
The interaction last year with the SmartView team was spirited (ahem) and useful for Oracle (I think, they have a great OTN board post last year's conference) and us, the audience. I’m willing to bet Toufic and his team are up for more of the same. I hope that the other product managers are as well.
If you want, you can attend just Sunday’s session. It’s worth it. Really. We lucky few wll be there the whole week. See you there. I can hardly wait.
