Thanks guyz. I just registered for Oaktable. It looks like I'll miss a lot of interesting sessions due to conflict with others at the same time or totally occupied ones. Will there be any presentation or video recording available for later?
I'll definitely be trying to get a shot at product managers or other ACE DBAs if I can get a hold on.
What other potential learning opportunities are out there that shouldn't be missed?
It may be a lil unrelated to ask but, first visit to SF, you think one
should rent a car to commute around? My hotel is a somewhat far from the
venue.
Thanks again.
