So, two keynotes from last week’s Web 2.0 Expo are worth watching, if you have a block of time.
One is Clay Shirky’s keynote from Wednesday afternoon. His observations are keen, and his presentation is both funny and interesting, well worth the 16 odd minutes.
The other is Dan Lyons’ keynote from Friday, which I missed in [...]
W00t!
Registration for Oracle OpenWorld 2008 is officially open. The massive conference is back in its Fall timeslot, September 21-25, 2008 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
This year’s shindig will include large doses of Mix, as previously teased. We’re planning to deploy some new features built by our friends at ENTP later this week (fingers [...]
The whole ‘Lab gathered in San Francisco last week to attend the Web 2.0 Expo, which explains why the content here has been stale for a week.
After a Monday huddle with Rich to plan the upgrade of Connect, our internal version social network and idea site to the Mix code line, we headed to Moscone [...]
The whole ‘Lab will be at Web 2.0 Expo next week, April 22-25 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
That’s the same venue as OpenWorld and pretty every other tech conference. In Denver, Paul riffed that he was sick of going to Moscone for conferences, something to the effect of “it’s getting old”. It is [...]
So, I blogged Sunday’s events up to the ACE Dinner, organized by Vikki Lira and held at Panzano in downtown Denver.
Paul and I were graciously invited to mix and mingle with the ACEs and ACE Directors. Dan, Matt, Ameed and Floyd were all there. Plus, I got to meet Bex, Linda, Steven, John, George, Debra [...]
Collaborate 08 officially begins today, but I flew in yesterday and got to hang out with Dan and Matt, who were in town early to set up for sessions today.
Thanks to Twitter, I shared a cab from the Denver airport to downtown. The cabbie negotiated $25 each, then tried to change it to $30 when [...]
Tomorrow, I’m headed to Denver for Collaborate 08. My schedule is pretty sparse, so if you want to hang out, tweet at me during the conference. Or if you prefer email, that works too.
I started to collect all the blogs about all the sessions people are holding, attending, recommending at Collaborate, but I soon gave [...]
We’ve been pretty busy with conferences lately, and that looks to continue into the Summer.
Paul attended Under the Radar The Business of Web Apps: Where the Web Goes to Work last week, and I think he’s working on a post summarizing his thoughts.
Rich spoke at the JRuby Meetup a few weeks ago, and Anthony [...]
The IOUC, OAUG and Quest Oracle Applications user groups will be co-hosting their annual conference, Collaborate, April 13-17 in Denver at the Colorado Convention Center. Thanks to Floyd for creating an Upcoming event for Collaborate.Half of the ‘Lab, Paul and I, will be in Denver for the beginning of the conference. Paul is hosting a [...]

A few months ago, I blogged about the events widget that appears directly under the Archives section in the left-hand column of this blog.
The list of events posted to the Upcoming appslab group is getting a little short, so I went through and posted a bunch more, including Web 2.0 Expo in April, which we [...]

Sure, I got back from OpenWorld last Thursday, but I’m only now willing to get back in the saddle and blog about it. As I mentioned to a few of the Enterprise Irregulars who attended, OpenWorld is a marathon.
Imagine a full day sessions, quietly sitting and listening, tons of walking around San Francisco, meeting a [...]

I’m headed out to San Francisco early tomorrow morning and will be around the event all day, probably on Twitter.
I’m debating whether to take both the Macbook and PC. The Macbook’s battery life is a huge plus, whereas the PC can barely get booted on a full charge, which is annoying at best. The problem [...]

If you read this blog, you’ll know I use Twitter, as do many of the people I interact with virtually.
Recently, Twitter and its use created a strange alliance that is a powerful case study for new web collaboration.
This alliance made up of a person from SAP, a person from Oracle, an Oracle customer, and a [...]

As we roll towards OpenWorld next week, it’s key to have each evening planned as well as the days. After all, conferences are a great chance to catch up with old friends, make new ones and put a real world face to a digital voice.
In that spirit, join us at the AppsLab meetup, which is [...]

Heading into OpenWorld next week, there are a few tools that you can use to broadcast your experiences and consume updates from the conference.
Eddie has a great post today, detailing how to send pictures to the Oracle OpenWorld 2007 Flickr group. Just send an email to future09ideas at photos dot flickr dot com. You don’t [...]

Dennis pinged me over Twitter asking for keynote details for OpenWorld. So, I figured rather than talk about the elephant in the room, i.e. OpenSocial about which I know nothing, honestly, I would avoid the subject.
First, the official OpenWorld Agenda and Show Guide is available here. This is exactly the same one you’ll get if [...]

This week has been a feverish rush to put the finishing touches on all things OpenWorld. Next week will be more of the same. Rich needs a hug, poor guy. Make sure you give him one when you see him at OOW. There’s a good chance I may consume the entire budget we have [...]

I hate to beat a dead horse, but frankly, I’ve had precious few topics lately. To clarify:
We want bloggers to attend and cover OpenWorld, November 11-15, in San Francisco.
My PR guru and I had a call with Jeff and Vinnie this morning to discuss their thoughts on a blogger program and talk about items they [...]

So, a few updates for those interested in attending OpenWorld as a blogger.
The registration process is now working, and we have a few confirmed attendees, including Vinnie and Jeff, who have also graciously offered to help plan the agenda for bloggers, which I think is still in the works.
Because of the sheer number of attendees [...]
As I sat this week at the Gartner conference, I had the opportunity to hear Andrew McAfee speak about Enterprise 2.0. One of the things I enjoyed hearing live was the 9x problem. He has written about it before, but the phenomenon is that we tend to overestimate the value of current solutions [...]
