Vote for sessions at Oracle OpenWorld 2008

Oracle has started an interesting experiment: people can post ideas for sessions at Oracle OpenWorld 2008 and vote for ideas. As Justin Kestelyn posted in his blog there are 35 slots available for these ideas. I posted three ideas:

• Transforming business processes in BPA suite to running and executable BPEL processes
• Testing BPEL in the real world, use the Oracle BPEL Test Framework to improve the quality of your BPEL processes.
• Top ten tips: Best practices and design guidelines for services, events and business processes

If you are interested in the experiences and best practices of the consultants of Approach Alliance, you should vote for these topics. Lucas Jellema posted some interesting ideas as well, mostly about ADF and creating web 2.0 applications.

So go to Oracle mix and use your vote to influence the program at Oracle Open World.

I am very interested in your opinion about this new selection process; do you think this makes the conference better? Do you think it won’t make a difference? It is interesting that they picked Oracle Mix and not the Oracle wiki to try this, I wonder why….
