Hmmm....(tapping my fingers, looking around, dusting off my monitor)...so how do you know this? -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Closson Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 2:53 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Oracle OpenWorld and abstracts??? >>>Is OpenWorld still not accepting user abstracts?? This is a FABULOUS topic. The short answer is no. OpenWorld is no longer a true tech conference. It is strictly payola and Oracle spoon-fed. So if you don't have connections to one of the show sponsors and are not an Oracle employee, look for a real tech conference. Ask me if you want to know how I know this. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
