Announcement

Join the newly formed Richmond Oracle/Sun User Group and Tom Kyte as we discuss Oracle Exadata. Learn how today's challenges of ever-increasing data volume, number of servers and storage, and rising complexity of applications can be addressed.

Oracle invited the leaders of the East Coast Oracle technology user groups to a meeting on Tuesday July 20th in Reston, VA.

I attended the all-day meeting and met up with the NOVA and NY JUG leaders.

With the acquisition Sun completed Oracle is making strides to incorporate the Java user groups into their product, tool and technology user groups.  We (JUGs) pressed Oracle to provide more information regarding the roadmap of the Java technology stack.

If you have areas of concern or questions please contact me.

First, a big Thank You to Andy Pemberton and CapTech Ventures!

The new design incorporates all of the features we needed into one site:

1. All announcements and RSVPs will be handled ... no more Yahoo Groups, no more Upcoming RSVPs.
2. Self-sign-up for speakers.
3. Self-sign-up for sponsors.

This is a really big improvement for administration since we will no longer need to sign in to multiple sites to add/update content
