Presentation: Open Source Oracle: Tools That Make My Life Easier

Abstract:  Most people don’t associate the words open source and Oracle. That time has changed as it is becoming more common for Oracle developers to publish their projects on open source platforms such as GitHub.

This talk will focus on how organizations and Oracle development teams can improve their systems and reduce costs by taking advantage of open source tools for Oracle. It will also cover how they can participate in projects and the advantages of doing so.
