Hey guys how are you?
It has been awhile since last time I wrote anything here…. and surprise, surprise, it’s because I’m crazy working in a project that was sized small but turn out huge and the size didn’t change…. 🙂 never happened before heheheh 😉
This is just a small post to tell how grateful and happy we are for receiving the EPM Data Integration Speaker Award in Kscope 18 with the presentation: How to Use Your ODI On-Premise to Seamlessly Integrate PBCS.
We start this blog in 2012 and we have been presenting at Kscope since 2013 and it has been very rewarding, not only because we become Oracle ACEs because of this, but because every single post or presentation we learn a lot with it.
When you do a presentation you need to stop to think in a solution for a specif project and start to thinking in a solution that can be used to all projects. This alone is a challenge, but the amount of thing we learn is a great deal. We can easily said that our code improved a lot since 2012 when we began with this blog and it’s in great part because of this blog and our presentations.
Then we thank you all of you that read our blog (even if we don’t post as much as we would like), to everybody that goes to KScope and decide to watch our presentations and to ODTUD that provide this bi-lateral learning platform.
Thank you all of you for supporting us and see you soon.
That’s it guys, one more year of KScope finished successfully.
This year was a big one for us since we had 3 sessions, one lunch and panel and one lip-sync battle…. that we lost… but was a lot of fun (way better than I thought it would be).
The sessions were great and we are very proud to receive the Top Speaker Awards for EPM Data Integration track with the session How to Use Your ODI On-Premise to Seamlessly Integrate PBCS.
This means a lot to us since we are always worried about our speeches because our marvelous English and our subtle accent (I sound like a famous robot from the future “Come with me if you want to live….”), then we always try to compensate with the content.
And this year I think we made it. We’ll try very hard to keep the content this interesting. We always try, but some times what is interesting for us is not for others. Would be very nice if you guys leave comments with thing you would like to see in our presentation or blogs.
Thank you very much for all people that attended our sessions and look forward to see you next year!
Thanks
Hey guys how are you doing? It has been a long long LONG time since our last post…. and we are sorry for that. We having been very busy with a lot of projects (both work and personal) and we had to get some time for us!
But we are finally getting back to action! And I’ll do that posting something about one thing that everybody loves…. Meetups..
First of all I would like to talk about the next ODTUG meetup that will happens in 2 days in Orlando, inside the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort…. I think I don’t need to say anything else about it other that it’ll be awesome…. but anyway, here’s the link for you guys to attend:
https://www.meetup.com/ODTUGers/events/246874182/
Now that this is sort out, do you know that if you want to do your own Meetup you can do it together with ODTUG? And you can even get financial support to do it????
Well it’s true. You just need to plan your meet up and then fill out the Meetup Planning form. This will provide ODTUG with all the information they need in order to move forward.
It’s also helpful to provide them if you are seeking financial support and if so, how much, and also your estimated attendee count as well. Another advantage is that there’s an list of services that ODTUG will provide as a sponsor along with the qualifications for sponsorship.
Off coarse there’re a few Sponsorship Requirements: Communicate ODTUG Resources and Events:
o Provide an overview ODTUG’s memberships and benefits
o Provide ODTUG Kscope18 deadlines
If you get exited with this piece of information and want to do you own Meetup, here are some useful tips and strategies for planning a Community Meetup.
1- Choose a Date and Location
Be mindful of holidays and tech conference dates when planning a meetup. A free venue is best—workplaces and universities tend to be free, while private rooms at restaurants and hotels usually have a rental fee. When securing a space, be sure to ask what the room capacity is and monitor your RSVP’s accordingly. If you need assistance with securing a venue please be sure to fill out the Meetup Planning form.
2- Schedule Speaker(s)
Education and content should be a part of a Meetup. Even if presentations are brief, education helps to engage members. If you need assistance with securing presenters, please be sure to fill out the Meetup Planning form.
3- Include Time for Networking with Food and/or Drinks
This could be as simple as having pizza delivered to an office after a speaker presentation. If there is a nearby bar/ restaurant the group may want to go for a Happy Hour.
4- Promote ODTUG Membership and ODTUG Kscope18 Conference
Share the benefits of ODTUG membership, encourage others to volunteer with the community, and promote ODTUG Kscope18.
Tips for a successful Meetup:
Scheduling
o Schedule quarterly Meetups if possible. Five-week months result in higher attendance and commitment. (Customers have an extra week to plan for maintenance, testing, and some downtime.)
o Wednesdays and Thursdays are the best days for scheduling meetings; whereas Fridays you will be competing with families and/or social lives.
Location is important
o Provide an environment that is fun and inviting. Seek popular local bars or restaurants that provide private rooms for formal meetings.
Budget
o Everything is negotiable! Find creative ways for customizing menus for your meetings. Order appetizers for a small group or buffets for larger group.
o The best option for savings is scheduling meetings in the workplace if possible.
Greeting your guests
o Have someone available to greet your guests. Provide a sign-up sheet, name tags, and pass out ODTUG/Kscope18 swag.
Engaging your guests is KEY!
o Creative ice breaker activity is a great way for people to engage and find common ground.
Follow-up is vital for success
o Feedback is important – this gives you an opportunity to thank your guests and provide a questionnaire (limited to 10 questions or less) to help improve and plan future Meetups.
Non-solicitation
o The user community is interested in learning how other organizations are leveraging the tools today within their environment, not a sales pitch. Solicitation is not allowed.
I hope you guys enjoy all this info and let’s start to plan our meetups 🙂

Hi all!
Last week I presented the first of a series of webinars that ODTUG will release talking about Oracle careers (if you want to check out the slides about ETL Developer Career webinar, click here). As I mentioned in the previous post, this webinar was part of a new ODTUG Career Track Community and back then I was not able to give you more info because the community was not released yet. But last week, the new community went live and with two more exciting news for young professionals that wants to speed up their Oracle careers. So let’s see what is this all about:
ODTUG Career Track Community
The Career Track is one of many communities that an ODTUG member can follow. It contains information, resources, and presentations specifically geared toward people just starting their careers. In addition to the materials and access that will make you successful, the Career Track Community will have exclusive networking events with current (and future) leaders within the Oracle Communities.
Click here to go to the Community site and don’t forget to follow the #orclcareer hashtag on Twitter for the latest and greatest information and discussions.
ODTUG’s Kscope16 New Oracle Professional Scholarship
ODTUG will give businesses and individuals the opportunity to send new professionals to Kscope16 by absorbing half the cost of a full-price Kscope16 registration. The scholarship is set at a maximum of 50 recipients. To be considered, you must meet the following requirements:
For more information, click on this link.
Kscope16 New Oracle Professional Tracks
Kscope16 will contain sessions aimed for the new Oracle Professionals where people with basic or no knowledge about the tools will be able enjoy the presentations and leave with a very good amount of knowledge about them. For the complete list of the sessions tagged as “New Oracle Professional Tracks”, click here. DEVEPM is going to present one of them (Take a Peek at Dell’s Smart EPM Global Environment) so be sure to be there, it will be a great presentation!
As we can see, ODTUG is really committed to give opportunities to everyone, from the new Oracle professionals that just graduated from college, to the senior folks that lives and breathes Oracle technology every day in their jobs. The senior people already knows how beneficial this kind of conferences are for their career, but if the young ones are still not sure if it is worth the investment or not, please read what Sarah posted about this unique opportunity and how this kind of conference changed DEVEPM lives in a way that we never imagined.
Thanks all, I hope to see you all at Kscope16!!!
