I don't think Rachel is presenting at all at IOUG this year, I'm not sure about Dan Fink, but he did an awesome presentation last year with cookies and chewy bars. Mike Ault's advance tuning (it was a Sunday class last year) was awesome. I did see Richmond Shee's session that he is doing this year on "If Your Memory Serves you Right" and I highly recommend it. ajw April Wells Oracle DBA/Oracle Apps DBA Corporate Systems Amarillo Texas @>-->-->-- "Few people really enjoy the simple pleasure of flying a kite" Adam Wells age 11 "Imagination is the highest kite one can fly."

Based on what I see in the write-ups on the website, I am most interested in: 1) Advanced Oracle Database Troubleshooting on UNIX by Tim Gorman 2) Oracle10g New Features by Daniel Liu 3) Oracle Environment Security by Kenny Smith 4) AND Identity Management: Oracle Internet Directory by Sanjeev Mohan But I do not want to make my choice based only on the write-ups. I recall attending a course on M$ Networking and TCP/IP. It was fabulous - and mostly because of the instructor. A year or two later I attended a Performance Tuning course at Oracle head quarters. This one was so-so, again because of the instructor. I have heard Tim Gorman speak before and he is very good. So I have no hesitations in attending a seminar led by Tim. Ditto for Rachel Carmichael (except I don't see her name anywhere). Can anybody else provide input into some of the better speakers out there? This will also be useful for technical sessions happening during the week, outside of the intensive Sunday and Thursday morning seminars. Thanks for your opinions!
