Collaborate 14 <\/a>is over. After a small week of vacation, it’s time for me to think about it and blog a short review about what I’ve learnt and done.<\/p>\n

RAC Attack 12c (Monday)<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

RAC Attack is definitely a great project, and the live event at Collaborate has been greater\u00a0than ever before. The “official pre-conference workshop” has attracted\u00a040 active participants (where active really means 40 people with 40 laptops installing 40 RAC 12c stacks!). Big user base means also new problems. We’ve faced a strange issue with VirtualBox showing only 32bit versions for the guest OSes (hint, hardware acceleration MUST be enabled in the laptop’s BIOS) and a few copy & paste problems from the electronic PDF (copying & pasting from the online website solves the problem). We’re working in order to fix them.<\/p>\n

As usual, most of the problems faced by the participants were related to some steps skipped by mistake.<\/p>\n

The OTN (our great friend @OracleDBDev \ud83d\ude42 ) has sponsored pizzas, drinks and beers!!!<\/p>\n

Moreover, always thanks to the OTN, we’ve got a few prizes to give to the best participants (the most active in installing and\/or helping others) and cool T-shirts. We’ve got a great feedback from the attendees and the entire Oracle community, we’re looking forward to see another success like this one.<\/p>\n
