Blogger Meetup – UKOUG Conference, Tuesday November 14th
October 18th, 2006 by Mark Rittman
If you’re at the UKOUG Conference in Birmingham next month, and you’re one of the Oracle bloggers, we’re organizing a meetup on Tuesday, November 14th from around 8pm.
The venue will be All Bar One, in the Brindley complex next to the ICC; this is also the same venue that the UKOUG are using for the SIG volunteer drinks, so if you’re a volunteer, and a blogger, you can just shuffle across the pub with your drink around 9pm and take advantage of another free bar. This time though, my presentation is on the Tuesday, not the day after the blogger do, so I don’t have to worry about a hangover; however I think I’m due to chair Chris Leone’s BI keynote the next morning, so I’d better make sure I don’t wake up in a bin the next morning with a traffic cone on my head.
As usual, if you’d like to come along, add a comment so I can estimate numbers. We’re not going to book anything, so just turn up, and once again the UKOUG have offered to sponsor the evening (cheers!) so we should be able to get a few rounds and maybe order a bit of food. Doug Burns has agreed to keep order between 8.00pm and 9.00pm until the UKOUG event finishes, so he’s the one with the kitty and the big list of names on a clipboard.

[...] Apart from all the work stuff, the best bit is all the socializing and we’re running a blogger meetup at All Bar One from 7.00pm on Tuesday. It’s being sponsored by the UKOUG, everyone’s welcome from the Oracle blogosphere, there’s a free bar and food, and as it’s being run in the same place as the UKOUG volunteers event, it’ll be a good chance to meet up with some familiar faces and swap some stories. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to post some photos, but until then, it’s back to the packing… [...]

[...] And finally come UKOUG conference 2007, it will be my platform for for mocking those otherwise respected luminaries who believe that All Bar One in Brindley place (http://www.rittman.net/2006/10/18/blogger-meetup-ukoug-conference-tuesday-november-14th/)is a good place to get a pint; those who have an apparently exhaustive knowledge of Oracle, but seem incapable of entering the words CAMERA and BIRMINGHAM into a search engine!
