OracleCode London 2017

My colleague & boss Ace Director Luis Weir and I were invited to present at Thursday 20th’s Oracle Code London.

oracle_codeThe request to present came late as we where needed to cover someone who had to cancel (not that we aren’t grateful for the opportunity). This did mean getting the presentation together was a little bit of a scramble, unfortunately I missed a couple of sessions as I needed to assemble an environment, work out how I wanted to explain the point Luis’ slides where communicating as this was the first time presenting with Luis as a double act. Add to that address the day to day work demands.

Despite these challenges, I think the presentation went very smoothly (and we’re looking forward to receiving the feedback). The slides can be found here …

I did catch a few presentations, including the keynote by Adam Bien, Tim Hall‘s presentation on exposing databases using REST services, Lucas Jemella‘s microservices and eventing backbone and finally CQRS by Sebastian Daschner. All presentations  where all top notch, loaded with useful information.  I’ve been fortunate to see both Lucas and Tim presenting before so knew I would in for a really good presentations.  So if you ever want to know about Oracle DB stuff with practical honest insights I’d recommend looking Tim up.  Like wise in the middleware space for Lucas.

Seeing the presentations and different presenting styles was interesting. Those presenters with a Java Rockstar background vs those from an Oracle Ace background. The Java guys taking a very minimalist (if any) slides and all code / demo – but blink and you’ll miss it, where as the Ace community (of which I am fortunate enough to be a member) with slides that are often visually very strong and still supported by demos.

Whilst I’ve attended Oracle Open World, I’ve not yet seen the parrallel Java One conference in San Francisco. That said, the feel of the day’s event (and presumably the goal) is what I’d expect Java One to be like. I have in the past attended similar RedHat events, whilst the venue has a similar feel (not unsurprising as both have used SkillsMatter venues), what was different between the Oracle and RedHat events was that the atmosphere felt a lot friendlier and communial at Oracle Code. This maybe down in part to the fact that I know more of the people both Aces and Oracle employees, although that can’t be the only reason as when I was involved in the RedHat environment I had known senior people within the organisation and encountered presenters.

My last observation, more technical is the fact that JavaEE was mentioned a lot more than I’d expected, even those much maligned EJBs got a mention. Is JavaEE making a reassurgence?

So, if you get a chance to attend OracleCode – as an architect or developer I’d recommend that you take the opportunity. Whilst Devox maybe bigger with the really big name speakers, the day was both informative, engaging and rewarding.

25-04-17 UPDATE: Oracle have just made all the OracleCode London sessions available on YouTube here, and our session specifically here.

Oracle Open World 15 – The Recovery

OOW, Oracle, OTN

So we’re back home from a week in San Francisco and the city dominating Oracle Open World conference and almost straightened up after the jet lag (don’t remember ever suffering from it this much).

A very interesting, very busy week that was absolutely shattering (it didn’t help our Hotel was in the middle if the city, but not very sound insulated or air conditioned – so if you don’t sleep well not the best).

I’ll piece together a presentation deck, but briefly, what we picked up/did:

  • Oracle is a cloud company now – with the word cloud presented so many times in a week that the early morning mist (or is that thin cloud) on a couple of days in SF I wasn’t sure if I was hallucinating it or whether it was genuine – it had disappeared by the time I was seeing presentations with the word cloud.
  • Oracle is getting hip with adoption of Docker and Open Stack.
  • Weblogic 12.2 announcements just before OOW somewhat swallowed up in all the other messages but I think this release will have some longer term subtle impacts, just like multi Tenancy database announcements lead  the subsequent cloud transition.
  • Oracle cloud isn’t all sales story – early adopters such as GE talked about their experiences
  • For those of you who want the benefit of cloud on premise – the hyperconvergence of Oracle hardware to SaaS solutions can be deployed on premise – or just the apps.
  • Conversations with Oracle Press and Bob Rhubart of OTN fame.
  • A day with the SOA product leadership – as part of the Customer Advisory Board. Can’t say what is happening but let’s say its all exciting.
  • Various meetings & receptions with Oracle UK and our strategic SIs, plus of course the obligatory Oracle Appreciation event
  • Investment in hardware to provide better security to protect against attacks like Heartbleed & Venom and some fancy new memory coming from Intel.

Checkout blogs such as this one and I’m sure a lot of other material will start coming through.

Oracle Open World

OOW

  We’re into the 1st full day of Oracle Open World conference; Sunday being sessions driven by the user groups with the kickoff key note from Larry at the end of the day.  That’s not to say that the Sunday is a leisurely day with the 1st session at 8am, and the evening networking with UK customers and #UKOUG representation. With yesterday being ‘active’,  today we’re flying – with a keynote this morning, then time to say hello to #OTNArchBeat guru Bob Rhubart. Then conference sessions with brief breaks between long enough to touch base with an Oracle Product Manager so we can have a follow up discussion on the #ICS product. The still has a lot to do with more sessions including the middleware keynote to come and then the evening talking with a vendor.

Oh, and somewhere among this fielding some emails from the office and keeping in touch with the family.

Learning Lessons from Oracle Apps User Group submission

30 Sunday Nov 2014

Posted by mp3monster in General

collaborate, conference, Confessions of a Public Speaker, lessons learnt, OAUG, OOW, Oracle Application User Group, Oracle Open World, OUG, Presentation, public speaking, Scott Berkun, UK Oracle User Group

As the build up to the Oracle Applications User Group conference (Collaborate) progresses the presenters have been informed of whether there submissions have been accepted.  Among many I made several submissions.

Before I share what I think I should have learnt from making submissions let me give some background to how we got to where we are. So my boss is keen that we have a member of the Enterprise Architecture team who has a strong Oracle recognition. As we are a customer rather than partner the only opportunity really is through the Ace programme as an Associate. Well I have been as active as the demands of the day job allows With the UK Oracle User Group (UKOUG). We agreed presenting at something as big as OAUG’s annual conference Collaborate would be the next step to making a case.

So whilst at Oracle  Open World we finally agreed that step and joined OAUG and found we only had a couple of weeks to get our submissions together – during which time I had to get internal sign off for my submissions plus deal with a family emergency.

So with the scene set, perhaps lesson one, don’t work in haste. OAUG run webinars about how to create submissions – a worthwhile exercise to attend although it does focus on what OAUG provides in the form of submission information (any themes for the conference identified and the amount of information needed) and the process & mechanics of selection. The important message is to temper your expectations as selection success rate is about 1 in 6 submissions. I looked at their themes and identified what I had in mind more or less fitted (big tick for me).

All of this meant I could assemble my submissions including details for my employer of what internal work and sources likely to be drawn from. Mistake here is perhaps I should have done this as soon as we had agreed to try as it would have meant I could give focus on getting my submission together sooner.

Perhaps the biggest missed opportunity, was having joined OAUG was to immediately look through previous conference papers and presentations, and most critically the ‘abstracts’ with these to get a feel of the messages, language and themes of presentations that had been accepted.  Understanding how the presentation submission might resonate with those voting on which presentations to accept could have made a big difference.  In hindsight I suspect my submission wording was a little to academic rather than informed by battle worn insights and how we’ve beaten some challenges.

All of this would help by having actually attended a previous Collaborate conference and got a feel for the ‘character’ of the conference and the people attending. I do know from Oracle Open World and Oracle’s one day sessions have some commonality in character and attendance but feel different and have some slight differences in attendance (Oracle sessions are slightly more abstract except customer presentations) and attendance can be a bit more decision maker in attendance. Where as UKOUG attendance is more orientated to those who execute delivery or drive the delivery aspects.  Then open source events differ a bit again.

To help inform thinking and learning how to progress I have been reading the excellent book Confessions of a Public Speaker by Scott Berkun (amusing and insightful book on public speaking and full of useful practical simple advise). Some may say a little masochistic given my submissions weren’t selected. But, certainly helped thinking about the approach for example really focusing down on the key message, and then how to prepare if a submission is selected.

To conclude, what now?  Well we will be applying these observations going forward, and will have done the reading of previous submissions and got together my submission ideas by the time submission opportunities open for next year – so no haste.  With a little luck will have attended Collaborate as just a delegate.  Then of course there is perhaps Open World as an opportunity.

Oracle Open World Middleware Update

09 Thursday Oct 2014

OOW, open world, Oracle, OUG, SIG

So having been fortunate enough to attend part of Oracle Open World I provided some support to the UKOUG Fusion Middleware SIG chairman with a short briefing on some of the key points from OOW.

The following are my initial notes, if you want the complete deck, it should be available through the UKOUG website.

Cloud
– key note from Larry was all cloud, cloud cloud
– more SaaS than anyone else – announced dozens of services is the last year – probably hundreds across all the sectors
– build and buy
– platform upgrade
– data as a service – BlueKai acquisition Data Management Platform
– Some of these offerings included capabilities that sounded like enterprise offered Dropbox – so might soon see personal cloud?
– data migration of data or app up and down from cloud push of a button (reality bit more complex)
– innovation for securing the cloud at lowest levels
– going after b2c and b2b capabilities

Middleware Cloud
– SOA Suite as a hosted solution or integration cloud which more like web UI for OSB integration.
– ethos change for integration cloud no deployment – develop and promote to production
– Override able Automated mappings when going between own cloud services or Oracle adaptors to 3rd party. Can built own mappings and incorporate own functionality
– Configuration controls policy driven such as error handling etc
– Can bring integrations back to on premise
– breadth & agility / ease (pace layering started to get mentioned a lot more)
– Use cases such as linkage to mobile – 7-11 use case
– More cloud adaptors coming to support 3rd party
– API inventory and discovery capabilities coming – successor to OES
– Support for JSON and REST alway through SOA rather than transformational capability only

Mobile Application Framework
– seems to have crept up quietly, successor to ADF mobile in the form of MAF Faces
– by delivering hybrid strategy like Phone Gap but enables Java in a container on Andriod & iOS
– MAF actually incorporates Apache Cordova – the open source version of PhoneGap
– with it is a new UI presentation style with all the support style guidance – ALTA
– Java on iOS but Jobs said …. done by compiling to native solution

A couple of presentation grabs ….
