My plans for 2016

29 Tuesday Dec 2015

To me 2016 looks very exciting. I will start my doctoral studies at Helsinki University. I will be studying and researching Big Data, semistructured data and schema discovery. That research is related to the work I have done more than 20 years but it is also something completely new. I am really excited!

Another interesting new thing is that I have been invited to speak in many conferences just like Kellyn Pot’Vin-Gorman predicted (@dbakevlar) 🙂 and I am so glad about that because as a typical Finn I am not very good in abstracts and convincing I should be selected… I am really sorry I have said NO to some of those invitations 😦 I hope I can say YES next time…

In 2016 I will have completely new topics and areas as well as my “old” topics and areas to talk about. Topics for 2016 include SQL Developer, WIT, cloud, APEX and I am sure that later this year I cannot stop myself from talking about Big Data, schema discovery and other things I learn and study during this year. Now I am studying Machine Learning…. Of course I will be talking about database designing and Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler!

So far I am planning to talk in these events in 2016:

GaOUG Tech Day 2016, March 3 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA

OUGN, March 10-12, Oslo, Norway

Ari Hovi Oy April 7.-8., Tietokannan suunnittelu Data Modelerilla, Helsinki, Finland

Collaborate, April 10-14, 2016, Las Vegas, USA

OUGF, EXA-SIG, April 21, Helsinki, Finland

APEX Connect 2016, 26.-28.4.2016 Berlin, Germany

AMIS 25 – Beyond the Horizon, June 2-3

ODTUG KScope16, June 26-30, Chicago, USA

 

And hopefully by OOW16 a book I have been coauthoring will be out, it is about SQL and PL/SQL.

 

Have a wonderful end of 2015 and a very happy and joyful 2016! Hope to see you in 2016!

I know, I know, 2015 is not over yet 😀

But I was thinking to wrap-up now so I can continue planning 2016 😉 2016 will be sooooo exciting….

In 2015 I was re-elected as the Ambassador for EOUC (EMEA Oracle Users group Community) for the next two years. At the OOW I was jumping to the cloud in Larry’s Keynote, met Mark Hurd and was awarded with a Oracle Database Developer Choice Award in Database Design category. And in December I was listed as the 12th of 100 TOP influencers on IT in Finland (http://okimoclinic.com/2015/12/04/announcement-top-finnish-ict-influencers-in-social-media-of-the-year/, http://summa.talentum.fi/article/tv/12-2015/100-tivi-vaikuttajaa/242826#). Just to mention some of the highlights of 2015.

I want to thank everybody who has bought my book, attended my sessions, invited me to speak and especially those wonderful collegues of mine who have been travelling with me around this beautiful globe. And of course the biggest THANK YOU to Roland, Vikki, Jennifer and the whole ACE Program and OTN for supporting many of my trips. Without your support this would not have been possible.

 

Thank you and have a wonderful December!

Oracle Cloud Day, Helsinki

My last presentation this year was extremely interesting: it was both my first presentation (EVER!) about cloud as well as APEX. I was speaking at the Oracle Cloud Day in Helsinki, Finland on a real customer case on building APEX applications on Oracle Cloud. Thank you Carus for letting me tell your story!

 

Thank you for attending the session and thank you so much for all the positive feedback! I guess I will keep on talking about both Cloud and APEX 🙂

 

Cheers

Heli

My last trips this year were two amazing conferences: DOAG in Germany and BGOUG in Bulgaria. I am not sure if there would be a better way to end your travelling year!

Thank you very much for having me and thank you so much for the great hospitality! And please forgive me this blog post only comes out now: I have been far too busy lately.

 

Best wishes,

Heli
