Get your Wii Hand On at Oracle Open World

Yes you read right. We are going to have the Wii-Hands at the SAP Booth at Oracle World this week in San Fancisco. On Monday even SAP Mentor Dan McWeeney will attend to demo the Wiimotes used as Minority Report style  user interface into SAP and to talk about co-innovation with customers at SAP. Here is my try out at the Hacker’s Night during Las Vegas TechEd.

I once read that SAP customers are the biggest block of Oracle database buyers. Therefore Oracle has a booth at SAP TechEds and at the big Oracle Open World this week in San Francisco we have one too.

I am really looking forward to the event. There are 41K people expected and I want to see how you organize something like that. Apparently Howard street between the Moscone Center will be closed again. For people that don’t know San Francisco, that is a major a least 4 lane one way street. I will use public transportation and I recommend you to do the same.

For the first time they are running an unconference style sessions in the afternoon. Something similar to what we do at the Community Days, just that it is in competition  to the regular program, which is interesting to see how much traffic they can get away from hands-on sessions. Something that we try to avoid.

As it is Unconference, I thought I sign up and do a session that is dear to my heart, that I am going to do at the Community Day in Bangalore too: Developing a Global Community Culture. I will let you know how it works out. Check it out if you are at Oracle World.

There is a lot more, but it is Sunday and this is all I have time for.
