AskTom on the IOUG

tkyte_trans.gif“I am a big advocate of the IOUG and try to do what I can to support it. I strongly encourage all of you who call Oracle your career to become part of it. The networking alone is worth it. Meet people in your area from other walks of life who do the same thing for different companies. Hear how they do it; share how you do it. This is a great organization with great technical content and strong leadership.”

– Tom Kyte of Oracle Corporation and OTN’s “Ask Tom”
