Some good history here...
Those internals courses were originally written by Lex de Haan, and
Scott Gossett was tagged specifically to deliver them. However, Scott
was delayed from delivering those courses in 1998 and 1999, and classes
had already been scheduled, so Oracle Education contracted me to deliver
the first half-dozen seminars, including IOUG-Live 1999, as well as
seminars in Caracas, Rio de Janiero, and Buenos Aires. I balked at
delivering seminars in Medellin and Cali, because at that time it could
be expensive and/or fatal to be both American and in Medellin or Cali.
I had left Oracle Corporation a few months previous to become an
independent consultant, and as part of my preparation, had requested one
day on the internal Oracle network with the level of access that I had
previously enjoyed as an employee, so that I could loot the internal
support and development pages for explanatory information. It was not
unlike one of those contests where someone wins a shopping spree for one
hour where they can leave with anything they can carry in that time.
Altogether, teaching those courses was both a terrifying and
electrifying experience.
Terrifying because this was one situation where the slidedecks contained
*FAR* more information than I had ever imagined. Terrifying because most
of the attendees were so scary smart, and had likely forgotten more than
I ever knew.
And the experience was electrifying for the same reasons.
Thankfully, Scott came available and, as Pete indicated, is still
crushing it at Oracle.

Scott Gosset must have retired by now, he was awesome. He used to teach internals seminars.
