One month after the Open World, and still I’ve got no time to blog about it… The first reason is… well… I’ve been working on new stuff (a couple of new websites are coming), then I’ve had to adapt old slides with the great content got at the conference (ZDLRA and other topics). \u00a0Finally, I was also tired about working off-hours, I needed\u00a0to spend good time with my family after this summer’s rush (moved to the new house and meanwhile worked on one gazillion different topics).<\/p>\n

Open World 2014, a different personal feeling<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Open World has been again THE big conference that no Oracle professional can miss. But this time it has been very different to me comparing to 2013.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t my first time as attendee, so it has been less surprising. I’ve attended as a Speaker (that made me feel part of the conference, and not just a spectator). I’ve attended also as an Oracle ACE (I’ll blog about thisin another post, soon or later). I was already friend with many people that I was eager to see again (and I feel the same now, waiting for the next\u00a0conference).<\/p>\n

My sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Surprisingly, from the very beginning (at the time of the session acceptance from Oracle) I felt very relaxed about my presentations. One presentation after the other, I’m getting aware of my limits (especially my bad English! ;-)) but I’m also getting experienced. So I went to Open World without stress, even knowing that the first one, on Sunday, was already full booked a couple of weeks before the beginning of the conference.<\/p>\n

Oracle has assigned to my sessions the VERY FIRST and the VERY LAST slots of the conference, so I’ve had less attendees than expected (around 170 for both sessions out\u00a0of 230 and 270 registered people respectively). At least, I’ve had the chance to open and close the conference by saying “Welcome to Open World” and “Thank you, see you next year!” \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’ve got very few feedback from the official OOW website, just 3 people for each session (anyway with a good, statistically irrelevant score: 4.33 and 4.67 out of 5), but I’ve been much more excited by the direct feedback of people that joined me for a chat right after the sessions and by the feedback on Twitter. I have to say that the interactions on this social media made my week, again.<\/p>\n
