It’s about 10am here at OpenWorld and I am catching the Keynotes, as well as the BeeHive demo, down at the Middleware lounge. I really enjoyed the live blogging yesterday, so I think I am going to try and post updates throughout the day, rather than just at the end.
Middleware Lounge. Where the party is. Look at these rocking folks.
Morning Keynotes
I’ve been somewhat casually listening to the keynotes this morning. Some of the highlights though:
Michael Phelps spoke. Hey gave his daily routine, which more or less was eating, sleeping and swimming(though I think his swimming routine probably lacks the underwater handstands and cannonballs mine would include). Interesting note, he said that the OpenWorld crowd was the most amount of people he had been in front of at one time so far.
BeeHive Announced and Demoed – BeeHive was actually demoed last year, but I guess this is it’s official launch. Most of the demos on BeeHive look pretty nice and all, though it’s tough to dig deep on a new software solution during the 5-45 min presentations. I say that because I was talking with some Oracle developers yesterday who were very casually talking about how they’ve been using BeeHive internally and think it’s great.
Oracle and Amazon – Oracle announced integration with the Amazon Web Services. I wish I caught this in more detail, but it definitely sounds like they will have the ability to virtualize the Oracle database on Amazon cloud compute and potentially store information on Amazon S3. I’ll post more details on this as I get them.
Sessions
I’m having some trouble getting in to the session builder site right now and unfortunately can’t remember the exact ones I signed up for. I’ll put and update out when I get at them, but for now I’ll be heading over to a WebCenter session at 11. Check back for sessions updates later.
