The one drawback with the Oracle OpenWorld 2007 unconference is that you have to be physically present at Oracle OpenWorld to participate. That doesn't help six-plus billion people who won't be at the Moscone Center (although it will seem like six billion people are there).
Enter Igor:
Everyone is talking about going to OpenWorld and I'm jealous. So I'm proud to present: Oracle ClaytonWorld. For those not familar with Australian slag, "Claytons" was a non-alcholic drink, sold under the slogan "the drink you have when you are not having a drink".
What I'm looking at is presentations without a presenter. You can 'attend' on your own at home, with your work-mates in a conference room, as a user group in a hired function room (or the pub if there isn't a football game on [or its just England getting hammered in the Rugby]) or pretty much anywhere with a large screen.
There's a fair bit on offer....
You don't have to fit it all in a couple of days and I'd prefer to watch a presentation or two a week (or each month for if shown by a user group), but it is possible to schedule up your own two-day conference.
An Oracle conference must start off with some Oracle spiel about the new wonder of the database world. It's a tradition, old charter or something. The 11g launch got a webcast from Oracle which fits the bill....
Igor then suggests some other items that you can assemble for your own ClaytonWorld.
As long as it's not a ClaymateWorld.
