OpenWorld 2010 Unconference Venue Is Now Open For OpenWorld Attendees Too!

In my post entitled OpenWorld 2010 Unconference Open For JavaOne And/Or Oracle Develop Registrants Only I quoted the Unconference policy which, at the time, stated Unconference attendance was only open to JavaOne and Oracle Develop folks.

I just received email stating that the policy has changed and that the new wording is as follows:

Now, Open to Oracle OpenWorld Attendees as well!
The unconference is a venue for any JavaOne, Oracle Develop or Oracle OpenWorld 2010 attendees to present their own session or workshop on a topic they’re passionate about, in an informal, interactive setting. It is a great opportunity for attendees to learn what’s on the minds of their peers in the community.

My Unconference sessions are:

Tuesday 11 AM: Lombard: Do-It-Yourself Exadata-like Performance? Kevin Closson, Performance Architect, Systems Technology Group, Oracle.

Tuesday 4PM:    Lombard: What Every Oracle Professional Wants To Ask About Exadata (Also Known as Q&A with Kevin Closson.) Kevin Closson, Performance Architect, Systems Technology Group, Oracle.

OpenWorld 2010 Unconference – Open for JavaOne And/Or Oracle Develop Registrants Only. A Poll.

It has come to my attention that the Unconference offered during this year’s OpenWorld can only be attended by registered JavaOne or OracleDevelop attendees as per the following quote:

Participation and attendance is reserved to JavaOne and Oracle Develop attendees. You have to be registered to JavaOne or Oracle Develop 2010 to attend any of those sessions.

I think it’s time for a poll. How many folks interested in Exadata plan to be paid JavaOne/OracleDevelop attendees and might, therefore, attend Unconference sessions?
