OOW 2010 – my schedule

I was able to finalize my schedule a week before the OOW 2010 and most of the sessions that I’ll be attending are related to Performance & Exadata. So that would be: 13 conference sessions, 6 unconference, 4 users group, 3 meetups, and 1 panel, +1 Oracle Closed World. You can check my detailed schedule below … (I know it’s a jam-packed sched! I hope I can go to all of them..) This will be my first time attending the OOW and I’m sure I’ll be having a superb time I’m registered as a Blogger so I got the full conference pass for FREE. I’ll be updating this blog as much as I can with small write ups, photos & videos about the conference so keep posted.

Plus it will be my birthday on Sept. 21st so you can send/give your gifts to me by going to my unconference session on Sept. 22nd 2pm Mason at Hotel Parc 55, I’ll be talking about a topic that is very dear to my heart.. that is Mining the AWR repository and making use of it for Capacity Planning, Visualization, & other real world stuff.. you can check out the mind map of my presentation here http://sites.google.com/site/karlarao/mindmap/mining-the-awr-repository

And one more thing, I’m excited to finally meet the people I happen to chat and exchange ideas that made me learn a lot of technical stuff that really helped me grow as a DBA for the past years. Expect a fan picture from me and a fan photo album coming :p
