SOA & BPM Community Newsletter February 2016

Dear SOA & BPM Partner Community

Thanks for the huge interest in the Fusion Middleware & PaaS Partner Community Forum 2016! With more than 225 registrations and 180 confirmed attendees the conference is booked out! We are in process to try to get additional budget to host more attendees. In case you want to attend please register online here. We will add all new registration to the waiting list and decide after my holiday beginning of March 2016. For the lucky ones who got a seat feel free to join our Facebook event page here.

The conference always have been booked out. This time it sold out in record time, we opened the registration 100 days in advance and in less than 50 days before the conference there is no seat available. This proofs the interest in Oracle Middleware & PaaS is huge and our community is stronger & more active than ever before! Thanks to all speakers and attendees who will make also the 22nd conference in Valencia a super success!

For all the attendees who will not make it to Valencia we consider to live stream the conference. We consider either to use YouTube streaming or twitter Periscope. We would like to get your feedback please send us a tweet @soaCommunity and #ofmForum.

On our joint journey transforming into a hybrid cloud economy we go ahead in big steps. The pre-sales guided learning patch including certification for Integration Cloud Service is online here. As part of the community we now offer ICS, PCS and SOA CS trial services via our community workspace. The agent to integrate on-premises with ICS is released as well as the new ICS tutorials. In case you make use of our community trial PaaS services we would like to encourage you to publish a blog post! Thanks to Lucas who published one of the first SOA CS articles. At the same time our on-premises business continues to be key. The SOA Suite 12.2.1 virtual box image is available, make sure you use it to run an Integration Success Workshop for your customer base!
