After all, I learned one new thing I did not expect to find out at OOW: at the OCP Lounge (where, contrary to promises, no networking took place), I was told new info regarding the 11g OCM exam. While from supposedly trustworthy source, don't take the following as 100%-sure; still, it's worth to know, that: - the 11g OCM Upgrade exam is scheduled to start late November this year, and will be delivered on 11gR1. - the full 2-day 11g OCM has no schedule yet, and will be delivered on 11gR2 from it's start.

You will catch up with the sessions using OOW On-demand (and as I remember, the PDFs are published later for general public) later - you will have to do it anyway, you can't attend everything you would like.
