[clue-admin] New DTC Meeting

[Jeff Cann]

Admins -

Thanks to Crawford and Todd Trichler at Oracle, we have a new home for DTC 
meetings.  It's at Oracle at I-225 and I-25 (formerly JD Edwards).  I checked 
out the room today and it will comfortably sit 30-40 people.  There is an 
adjacent room that we can use if/when our attendance grows we can double the 
capacity.

With regard to July meeting.  Todd will be away in August and so we thought it 
is better to go ahead with a 'formal' meeting next week, so we can work out 
any kinks.  As we had no speaker planned, Todd offered to deliver an 
abbreviated keynote that he gave at Linux World, South Africa.

Also, Todd will try to locate Oracle employees that are into Linux (or already 
CLUEbies) to help man the front door.  We don't have to each get a badge, but 
to cover Oracle safety concerns, we will sign in each meeting.  This is in 
case there is an evacuation and they need to account for everyone in the 
building.

Finally, there's a possibility that OTN (Oracle Technology Network) will 
sponsor a pizza party for us to break in the new room.  Todd will confirm.

For the KISS session, I'm looking for volunteers.  If we have none by 
Saturday, I'll put together something.

Jed, 
If you would please update the web site with the following information:

1.  Address

Oracle Building 2 
7604 Technology Way
Denver, CO 80237

2.  Meeting location

Meeting in the Demo Room #1250 on the ground floor.  As you enter from the 
north side you will need a badged employee to let you through the double 
doors, and then turn left down the hallway before you get to the elevators 
room is on the left hand side.

3.  Parking is available on the North side of Building 2.

4.  Meeting room has a projector and screen [ironically].  It also has 
ethernet connections, but we are not authorized to use them as they are 
behind Oracle's firewall.  I'll remind people at the meetings.  Also, Todd is 
seeking approval from Oracle IT for our use if we later need internet.  There 
is no wireless ap.

July 12th main abstract:

Title :  The Road to Linux Adoption in the Enterprise

Abstract:  This will be an abbreviated version of the presentation I gave for 
the keynote at LinuxWorld South Africa.  Todd Trichler will cover:
- Trends leading to adoption of linux in the enterprise (*what we've learned 
from our customers deploying linux around the world*)
- Case study of Oracle's internal usage of Linux (*hard facts, numbers, and 
lessons from our internal deployments*)
- Linux on the Coporate Desktop - Tips and Gotcha's (*personal experience of a 
converted windows user in the enterprise world*)
