In case you didn’t notice, last week was OOW week.
I personally stayed at work and delivered some great dashboards (I thank you), but some people (um hum, Christian) had a whale of a time in sunny/foggy San Francisco (that place where they used to host the Americas Cup!)
Luckily, there are those who went, and who blogged (how did we manage in the pre-Internet era?)
Blogs of the week
1. OOW14 day 0
Christian Berg talks breakfasts, sessions and scheduling issues!
2. Oracle OpenWorld 2014 – Back to the Future

4. Real Time SQL Monitoring Support in Oracle SQL Developer [Video]
Jeff Smith says, “I had a pretty good week of presenting at Open World this week. 3 solo presentations, all well attended. But in one, I had a technical issue – that’s code for I was having problems because I was using the wrong database connection – when trying to show off the Real Time SQL Monitoring support feature in Oracle SQL Developer.”
So he shares this video:

Dan Vlamis asks:
For those that attended:
- What did you find interesting?
- Any funny stories to share?
- What was different from what you expected?
For those that didn’t attend:
- What would you want to know?
- Are you more interested in the “behind the scenes” or the “major announcements”?
