Just received a notification mail that my presentation titled
Increase Your Oracle APEX Development Productivity with Open Source Tools
has been accepted for the ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2008 conference.
The order of the mails I got from ODTUG was quite interesting.
Yesterday I got the “THE BIG EASY BULLETIN: Abstracts Selected” info mail, which I assume was sent out to all members of ODTUG and participants of the last conference. I was really surprised that I was featured as a speaker next to the big names in the Oracle community like Duncan Mills, Mark Rittman, Tom Kyte, Peter Koletzke, John Scott, Dimitri Gielis, Paul Dorsey and Steven Feuerstein.
And a few hours ago I got the “Invitation to Speak at ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2008″ notification mail that I have been accepted as a speaker. 
Looking forward to see you in New Orleans!

Congratulations Patrick.
Look forward to your presentation.
I’ll be also presenting on Advanced Charting in APEX.

Congratulations. It’s funny you mention the order that you received these. I received the same original announcement you did (the one with your name in lights). I thought that maybe my abstract wasn’t selected. But a few hours later, I also received notice of acceptance of my abstract.
It should be a good time.

I’m sure we will have a good time! Looking forward to meet you again.
