Tom Kyte and Richard Niemiec down-under

For any Australian readers who are members of the Australian Oracle User Group (AUSOUG), there's chances you've missed one exciting announcement for the AUSOUG 2008 conference buried in the recent eBulletins:

Tom Kyte, Senior Technical Architect in Oracle’s Server Technology Division has already agreed to present on the Gold Coast on 14 October from 1.00pm - 2.30pm. Rich Niemiec, President of TUSC, USA has also agreed to present at the Gold Coast Conference.

The Gold Coast might seem a long way away for most Australians, but obviously it's far closer than flying all the way to San Fran to check out these 2 well known Oracle personalities at Oracle OpenWorld.

I wonder what other exciting Oracle personalities will be there? Oh, yeah, me ;) I'll be running a JDeveloper Masterclass on the day after the conference for those who can't get enough of the Big-O.

Time to start nagging your boss to let you attend, if not to see Tom and Richard, to see me in action!

Disclaimer: possibly you've caught me on a not-so-shy-day.
