OpenWorld is quickly approaching; it’s September 21-25, in case you don’t already know that.
You’ll recall that last year, we used Twitter quite a lot to socialize, meetup and broadcast the sessions. We used Craig Cmehil’s eventtrack side pro ... Continue reading »

I've added your link to the Oracle OpenWorld room on Friendfeed.

> up from the airport hotel where I’m currently installed. Ideas?
check back at the OOW housing page *often*. a co-worker clued me in to a better hotel yesterday, and I managed to get moved from near the airport to hotel just a couple of km from Moscone... But it was the *only* open room at the hotel...
I was contemplating writing a screen-scraper that'd check for better rooms every five minutes and notify me if it found anything - but (as is so often the case) the old-fashioned approach won first.

Maybe socializing OpenWorld should focus on getting me a better hotel room.

At the "participate 08" conference in Chicago, they GAVE AWAY some iPod touches to the audience, pre-installed with some social apps to help folks get connected. It also allowed people to give feedback on a presentation during the talk, to say whether or not they liked a specific feature. Pretty cool...
Its a tad late for open world... but what Oracle REALLY needs is a decent mobile tie-in to their online schedule builder...
scratch that... first get a decent schedule builder... THEN make it social.

I know that Jake has talked to Chris Bucchere in the past about the app he built for Participate, he also used it recently for Ruby Nation here in DC. They are launching it as a platform available at: http://www.nowgetsocial.com/
So what are some good ideas? Google released a new version of gears tonight that is location based but it too doesn't get down to a low enough level for a busy conference hall.
I haven't even logged into the schedule builder yet, I wonder how hard it would be to scrape the data? Take that, merge it up with OraTweet, have the presenters claim their sessions and send live updates to them during their presentation. If they are brave enough I'm sure I could crank out a small Air app to have the messages pop up on the screen as they presented. Then again, I don't know that I would trust some of the people around here to put messages live on my screen during a presentation.

I'm OK with the FF room, if that's all we have time to do. Maybe we should have started this thread earlier . . .

Because I'm not in Marketing (remember?), I can't help with device giveaways. However, it does seem a bit pricey to give 40,000 anythings away.

I'd write it but my 4th week of 80+ hour weeks isn't going to let that happen.
