The last time Oracle had an open CFP for OOW was 2003. Since then it is by invitation only. However, on the Sunday before OOW, is the Users Group/SIG day and the groups like IOUG, OAUG etc are invited to recommend speakers for the same. I spoke at 2003 OOW via the open OOW and then at 2006 via the BIWA SIG. This year there is a BIWA track of 4 presentations on Nov 11 (Sunday) and my slot is at 1:00PM. If you are around, hope to see you there…

I think the way you can get a session in is through the allocation provided for the user group papers. So you can submit through groups such as IOUG and ODTUG.

Hi John

It was mentioned in some bulk email from OTN. I have sent Vicky an email to find out if they’re going to do it this year, and if so, when the deadline is. I’ll let you know if I get a reply.

Cheers, APC

Hi Andrew,

Hmmm, so did you get an invite as an ACE or did you just find the place to submit to by investigation/accident?

Last year the call for Papers was extended to the ACEs too, but I only found out about it at the last minute. Still, they accpeted my paper, and that’s what matters ;)
