Come join OTN @ RMOUG, in addition to the opportunity to attend an Oracle on Linux Installfest focusing on virtualisation, we will also be holding for the first time ever Oracle Expert Sessions in the OTN booth on the Exhibition floor.
Give us your feedback by submitting a development survey, and win prizes ( Even if you don't want a portable 1TB harddrive, stop by and let us know what you think ). Pick up the latest Enterprise Linux 5 Update 3 and Oracle software, courtesy of OTN.

"What are Expert Sessions?" you may ask - think of them as a BOF hosted by Oracle Developement & Product specialists.
We have them coming from across the sea, and a bunch of them are right here in the Region. Where else can you get front row seats to the likes of Kris Rice & Sue Harper discussing sqldev or get a chance to hang out with Duncan Mills & Lynn Munsinger of the Jdev fame. Come offer your congratulations, sage advice or gnarly questions ... for a full list of the expert sessions please see the schedule below.
