I have spoken at OOW for the last three years, and I have never worked for Oracle. Hopefully, I have never sounded like a shill for Oracle. If anything, I derive perverse pleasure from making fun of Oracle in my presentations, just to see if I can get myself uninvited next year.
It is true, that presenters are predominantly Oracle employees, and major Oracle customers and partners. This limits the number of presentations having technical merit. I only attend OOW to present papers, to meet you all, and then only if admission is free.
