In the sea of people that is OOW, I want to call out a few people for special mention
Steve Miranda – Kudos for getting Fusion applications to the shape they are in with all the executive turmoil, rumor and innuendo around applications at oracle.
Susie Penner – always friendly face of Oracle Communications who has the thankless job of herding bloggers
NetSuite team – for a nice, relaxed reception (with the nice tough of a harp player) around the OOW event
Ray Wang – I have seen him order oodles of food at restaurants for group dinners. This week I saw him share a power strip and MiFi with everyone. He truly is a generous heart.
Ann Livermore of HP – this may sound like a strange choice, but while HP’s keynote on Sunday was soundly booed, it is important to step back and see she is just doing her job. She is a classy lady who takes barbs for lots of stuff.
The booth staff – Oracle and partners – standing around, smiling at strangers and scanning their cards is exhausting work. Hope you put your feet on ice at the end of each day.
