Yesterday I joined the Oracle partner regulars’ table in Arcotel in Linz. It was nice to see a known face again and to build out my connections. Oracle also provided three presentations: News in the channel, 11g new features and high availability. But unfortunately they weren’t very interesting for me because I already knew all the stuff they telling me and also in more detail. It was more a sales presentation than a technical. But that’s ok I thought that it would be like this. So the real benefit was more to talk to the other partners and to some nice Oracle sales guys at my age! 🙂
