It’s already almost that time of year again. Which means I need to let you know what you can expect from our team at the world’s largest Oracle event – Oracle Open World.

Sessions start on Sunday, September the 18th – but the fun with our team starts on Saturday morning. Kris Rice and I will be corralling folks to a scenic bike ride of the Bay lead by PL/SQL Product Manager extraordinaire Bryn Llewellyn. It’s a tremendous amount of fun, and a great way to see a ton of the scenery.

Sunday morning, we’re also leading an un-official 5K jaunt across ‘the Bridge’ and back. Yes, that Bridge. Anyone and everyone are welcome to attend these events – if only to get you outside of the Moscone for a few hours πŸ™‚ San Francisco is more than just a convention hall, after-all. And you’ll feel less guilty about those mid-session cookies and happy hour beverages.

One last thing – no need to be a serious biker or runner. Folks from all skill and fitness levels attend, and it’s a great way to become more involved and apart of the community.

ORACLENERD is also hosting the 5th Annual Swim in the Bay, Monday morning.
