ODevC Yatra 2018: Chennai

ODevC Yatra 2018 was off to a great start today at the Loyola-ICAM College of Engineering and Technology (LICET) campus in Chennai. It brought back memories of me attending Down Sterling decades ago (when I was attending university in Chennai).



AIOUG President, Sai Penumuru (@sai_penumuru), kicked off the event, welcoming attendees and introducing the speakers. The Chennai event had a great turnout!



These are the local chapters of the AIOUG, coming together to make these events happen across the seven cities.



Shout out to Jennifer Nicholson, Oracle Developer Community Programs, who has been working closely with the AIOUG to provide sponsorship and speaker support. Thanks to all these folks working behind the scenes to make this event possible.



My first session in the morning was "Oracle Cloud: Bridging the Skills Gap" and my second session in the afternoon was "Oracle Cloud: Preparing your Roadmap". Both sessions were very well attended. I am planning to blog about topic each separately.


I like answering questions asked by the attendees and tend to devote sufficient time for Q&A.



Some of the questions followed me outside the room as well.



Here's the Chennai selfie with all attendees (we plan to do this in each city). Taking the selfie is one of our Oracle speakers, Sandesh Rao (@sandeshr)


Thanks again to this wonderful team of AIOUG Chennai Chapter volunteers for all their hard work!


Our ride to the airport was uneventful. Bjoern Rost (@brost) enjoyed the skillful maneuvering by our driver.


After a quick dinner at the airport, it was time to board the flight to Bengaluru.


One down, six to go. Will post from Bengaluru tomorrow.
