September 2010 Architect Community Newsletter
Are You Ready, San Francisco? In a matter of days the city of San Francisco will be invaded by hordes of IT professionals — architects among them — as they check into hotels, stow their baggage, and begin to make their way to the various venues hosting sessions and other events as part of JavaOne, Oracle Develop, and Oracle OpenWorld. This edition of Oracle's Architect Community Newsletter brings you some last-minute information on some of the activities for architects happening across the three events. If San Francisco is not in your plans for the week of 9/19, you can still follow the action via daily Oracle Technology Network Live webcasts, and through Twitter, Facebook, and blog updates from the OTN team and across the architect community. We've got you covered. —The Oracle Technology Network Team (See Team Blog)
Focus It Really is a Big Tent! If you attended previous Oracle Develop or OpenWorld events you probably spent some time in the OTN Lounge, grabbing a coffee in the morning, a beer in the afternoon, collecting the latest in t-shirt and software swag, and catching up with friends and colleagues. Well, as you may have noticed, things have changed. This year the OTN Lounge has moved from its old digs on the third floor of Moscone West to the Mason Street Tent, between the Hilton and Nikko hotels. To be more precise, the OTN Lounge hasn't moved to the Mason Street Tent, it has become the Mason Street Tent. Occupying the entire block from Ellis to O'Farrell, the Mason Street Tent is the new home for all the swag and activities you used to find in the OTN Lounge, and much, much more.
