Doing More with Even Less – UK IUA 2009 Conference

Another repost on behalf of the UK IUA

Registration for the UK IUA “Doing More with Even Less” 2009 Conference
in London on Tuesday, June 9 is now open.

Among the twenty or so sessions on offer in the afternoon Christine
Normile will run a breakout session to discuss the roadmap for Ingres
9.3, 9.4 and 9.5, and will include a brainstorming session with the
audience. Suggestions will be entered live into Service Desk so any
suggestions will get immediate management visibility and will have a
real chance of being implemented. These kinds of sessions always set
off storms of new ideas because people can collaborate, argue, and
explain in a way that is impossible otherwise.

Register at www.regonline.co.uk/IUA2009 (unless you are a speaker or
exhibitor*).

The plenary session this year features a record number of keynote
speakers, including Senior Product Manager Christine Normile giving a
briefing on new features in Ingres; SVP of Worldwide Engineering Bill
Maimone with what he promises will be an “eye-popping”(!) demonstration
of forthcoming features; Red Hat’s Regional Director for the UK Phil
Andrews; Alfresco Chief Marketing Officer Dr. Ian Howells, and Ingres
President and CEO Roger Burkhardt speaking on the New Economics of IT.

See the agenda at www.regonline.co.uk/IUA2009 for the rest of the
afternoon sessions.

*Speakers and exhibitors will be contacted separately with registration
instructions.

IUA presentation – No speaky the COBOL?

Grant Croker — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 14:04:01 +0000

This Wednesday I gave a session on the languages that can interface with Ingres. The content of my session was a high level overview with some simple examples thrown in for the non Embedded languages. Going into sufficient detail for all the languages we support in 35 minutes was not possible. There was a lot more I would liked to have spoken about. Anyway, you can download the presentation in either Flash or PDF format. Should you want the source file email me via grantc at php dot net.
