Everyone:

Speaking as a Focus Area Manager, we are missing the following types of presentations:

Presentations for beginners, i.e.: "the basics" - too many of our presenters concentrate on the intermediate or advanced. Let me tell you that we WANT to see more beginner presentations.
Troubleshooting type presentations helping users diagnose both performance and development problems.
REAL Advanced presentations and not ones that you think are advanced. Comments returned over the past few years indicate that the "advanced' presentations are not as advanced as stated.
Tighter quality sessions that offer concrete technical value and ROI for our audience.

Should be enough

Thank You

I asked my manager if I can go, maybe I can present a paper.

Now I just have to decide what topic to present on.

I don't want to do something that is on the bleeding edge, I want to do something that would be useful to the largest number of people.

I leave the marketing to Oracle Corp., they know the newer products best it seems to me. I am not a concepts person, I don't go by the product descriptions and features, I go by practical experience. (aka Trial by Fire)

Right now we are still planning / testing a migration to 9iAS 9.0.2. on Windows (I know, no comments please), maybe I can do a paper on how to install, configure, secure, and manage 9iAS effectively.

If you have any other suggestions, don't hesitate to mention them -- what would be most useful to you at your site?

Do I ever want to go to this conference!

Patrice.
