Yet Another OpenWorld Blogger Update

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 [...]

Seriously, We Want Bloggers at OpenWorld

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 [...]

OpenWorld Blogger Update

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 [...]

McAfee’s Own 9x Problem

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 [...]

New Applications Strategy Blogs

It’s my pleasure to welcome a couple new(ish), Applications Strategy blogs to the Oracle blogosphere.

Financials Strategy, written by the Financials Strategy team
Project Directions, written by the Projects Strategy team

In case you didn’t know (read the About), we (AppsLab) are part of the Applications Strategy organization, so these are teams we work with frequently. Whether or [...]

What’s in a Name?

As many know already, I’m not a fan of the term Enterprise 2.0. I think it’s derivative and boring, all at once. And yet, now people are building on it and advancing the version to 3.0.
I’m also not a fan of Web 2.0, but that one is livable. An email thread with Paul coined a [...]

AppsLab Events Widget

Maybe you noticed our newest widget, it’s right down there on the right, just under the Archives. If you’re too lazy to look, here’s the shot.
This widget shows events that have been posted to our upcoming group, aptly called appslab. Anyone can join and use upcoming, and anyone can join and post events to the [...]

Video of Paul at Office 2.0

ZDNet has posted a short snippet of Paul’s commentary about Connect, after Dan Farber quizzed (and needled) him.
I lol’d when Paul said he had a team of developers who are web savvy. Rich apparently has cloned himself. Woo-hoo! Either that or I am now a web developer . . . bah?

Office 2.0 Conference Review

Last Thursday and Friday I was at the Office 2.0 Conference in SF held at the St. Regis hotel. The event came off as a success and I enjoyed the venue, meeting new people and sharing my thoughts on the Enterprise Collaboration panel. I especially thought Dan Farber did a nice job keeping [...]

Find Me at the Office 2.0 Conference

Next week is the Office 2.0 Conference made immortal by their offer of free iphones to all participants. The conference looks to have a good mix of participation and as luck would have it, I’ll be speaking on a panel covering Enterprise 2.0 Collaboration. That session is Friday afternoon, but you can [...]

Oracle Open World Session Update

“For Your iPhone Only”

For those Oracle people who come here to read iPhone fodder, I’ve started an internal wiki to collect all the tips and tricks that have surfaced from Oracletes with iPhones. Drop me a note to get the 411.
Rich is still jealous. However, he may be in luck. Paul may be taking AppsLab on the road [...]

My QuickConnect Card for OpenWorld

Jumping on the bandwagon, I’ve created my very own QuickConnect Card for OOW this year. Eddie and Carl have cards as well.
I think this is the first time we’ve had something like this for OOW, and it seems like a good way to “schedule” ad hoc meetings with people that will be at Moscone.
This [...]

Join Us at Oracle OpenWorld 2007

Registration is now open for Oracle OpenWorld 2007.
The conference will be held November 11-15 in San Francisco, CA. If you were there last year, you know hotels booked up fast, so get moving - I am not sharing a room.
If you get a chance, join us at our session:
Oracle and the New Web, Applying [...]

Check out Oracle Events

As Justin pointed out yesterday, Oracle.com unveiled a very cool 2.0 (or dare I say, 2.0+) application called Oracle Events. This is a very useful mashup of the Oracle events calendar, Google Maps (surprise!) and a combination of Siderean Seamark and Oracle’s own Secure Enterprise Search. Many of you will recognize the semantic [...]

Under the Radar Conference Report

I spent a great day today at the Under the Radar Conference on Office 2.0.
These events are organized to provide a bit of exposure, networking, and critical guidance to start-ups at a very early stage. Typically the companies presenting had angel funding or less, and a beta, (or less) to match.
The format of the conference [...]
