we do not use cloud? Hmmm maybe it's time for a new spin on things

As everyone might be slightly aware Oracle Corporation has done a huge pivot from their perspective  10/15 years ago.  Cloud is everything ... you want cloud ... you need cloud ... you need "our cloud" ... yada yada ...

So I'm working on at least one new presentation for the last part of this decade ( submitted to RMOUG ) and maybe this new brain fart should be the next one.

We do not use cloud ... as a logical step child to Moan's brilliant "Why you probably don't need RAC" ...

working on a new presentation for RMOUG/Hotsos 2017 makes me ... grumpy

Well its time for coming up with a new presentation or two.  I just volleyed in an abstract for RMOUG 2017 ( there's still some time to get topics into the review process ).


I have to do the same thing for Hotsos get topic submitted.  I hope I do get picked up by one of these conferences ... but not both ha ha because its not easy getting work approval for just one event.  So time will tell.


The bad thing about doing these abstract submissions involves actually creating a presentation to go along with the terminology and ideas that one promised in the abstracts.  For me I'm fairly lucky because I have the opportunity typically of picking one of the presentation slots in our NEOOUG January meeting and getting material ready for that meeting plus practicing it once in front of a relatively sympathetic audience.
