There has been quite a bit written about Oracle Mix Voting (let me refer to it as OMV for short) this year and I don’t think I should waste your time restating any of this. What I wanted to do is to take a step back and try to list “stakeholders” of OMV.
Before I continue, here is some of the relevant blog posts on this topic:
Oracle Mix: OOW11 voting, a race against time – Australia speaks up through votes
Data Science Fun with the OOW Mix Session Voting Data
Has Oracle MIX “Suggest-A-Session” Jumped the Shark???
Suggest-a-Session 2011 follow-up: What worked, what didn’t, and how can we improve?
Let’s see who the imaginable stakeholders are and what their primary needs are from the Oracle Mix Suggest-A-Session project. I hope I don’t sound too cynical but I think it’s a reasonable objective…
1. Oracle Corp
Primary need — attract as much attention as possible to OOW, positive media splash around OOW.
Was it successful? Of course, twittersphere and blogosphere were boiling around OMV. You could argue that there were some other needs but for the company as business — marketing was number one reason to support OMV, IMHO.

I’ve been so amazed by the community response to my requests over the past few days that I just HAD to blog about it.
In this post:
- Oracle MIX and Suggest-a-Session voting
- My very first experience and approach to the event
- I ask for an APOLOGY (I was short on time)
- Special thanks to those who showed their support
Oracle MIX and Suggest-a-Session voting
As some of you are aware the whole world (including Australia) has been allowed to propose and vote for their favorite presentations for Oracle OpenWorld 2011 on Oracle MIX over the last two weeks. The voting is closed now and it is time to share the experience (results not in, yet!).

Summer’s here, and that means it’s time to start thinking about Oracle OpenWorld 2011, October 2-6th, 2011 in San Francisco.
Pythian’s plans are well underway. We have been busily planning since March, have submitted a number of abstracts on all sorts of topics: Exadata, ASM, GoldenGate, ADR, ASM, many based on real world experiences with Pythian clients.
Some have been accepted, but we’re hoping for a few more and we’re asking Pythian fans to vote for our sessions on Oracle Mix.
It’s easy. Simply click on the topic link below, and log into your Oracle Mix account to cast your vote.
- Evaluating Oracle Exadata: Starring Roles for the Best Technology
- Under the Hood of Oracle ASM: Fault Tolerance
- Oracle Database Consolidation: Practical Chargeback Methods
- Administration of Automatic Diagnostic Repository
- Oracle GoldenGate vs. Oracle DataGuard
- How GoldenGate helps a company to zero downtime for the application releases
- Exadata: Failure is Not an Option
- Exadata: Datawarehousing challenges: Parallel Query Challenges
- Embracing the ADR in Oracle Database 11g
- Amazon RDS, EC2 and S3 for Oracle Databases
- Monitoring MySQL with Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control
- Database I/O Performance: Measuring and Planning
If you submitted abstracts that were not accepted you also have one last chance: submit a session proposal on Oracle Mix. Speakers get a free pass to OOW11.
Good luck to all submittees and thanks for supporting Pythian!

In the recent month there were several Oracle community web sites created. Well, I remember I registered on one or two but I couldn’t really keep an eye on many so I decided to wait and see which one wins. Turns out that Oracle Mix came out as a winner. Maybe it’s just my impression.
But I digress… I just wanted to make a quick note that Oracle Mix organized an interesting hybrid between call for papers and abstract judging. Anyone registered at Oracle Mix can propose a session abstract to present themselves or as an idea for others. Everyone can give their votes to the proposed sessions. At the end of the voting deadline (25th of June) Oracle will select the top sessions to be included in the Oracle Open World schedule.
So what? Well, I did send mine few days ago — Demystifying Workload Management with Oracle RAC based on my Hotsos Symposium 2008 presentation. I’m not sure how wide is the potential audience for this session — it’s far from beginners session and is specific to RAC. However, I do believe that this topic is often misunderstood and there is very good potential to spread the knowledge. So if you are coming to the Oracle Open World and interested in that topic – go ahead and vote. If not mine, there are plenty of others.
PS: I managed to do 2 (!) typos in the title and can’t edit it anymore. I don’t have any error on update but the title comes back unchanged. I have already filled in a bug report – let’s see if it gets fixed.
