OOW Highlights and bye bye SF

For me, being for the 2nd time in America and the 1st at OOW, the highlights of this week:

• Landing in San Francisco… oh! almost in the water
• First meeting and drinks with John Scott… a really nice guy
• Seeing SF city in a complete Oracle oasis… such a big city with Oracle everywhere
• First time OOW registration… so many registration desks
• First meeting with the APEX SIG panel… really nice people
• Apex Sig panel… telling my experience with APEX and answering questions for many people at OOW
• The Benelux Cocktailparty… enjoying together with my ex-colleagues and (ex-)customers
• The Blogger Meetup… good time with my “virtual friends”
• Appreciation Night… Elton and good food
• Presentations of Tom Kyte… enjoyable to listen to
• First presentation of and meeting with Jonathan Lewis… so much knowledge
• Keynote speech of Larry Ellison… Unbreakable Linux
• Oracle Database 11g… new features, even better
• APEX meetup… being together with the developers of my favorite toy: APEX
• Sight seeing with John… Alcatraz, Pier 39, boat, hills, …

I’m going for my last sleep in San Francisco (for this year ;-)) …
Thank you SF, Oracle and all the people I met… I really enjoyed it!
