OTN in FY 14
Objectives
• Increase advocacy for Oracle technologies by Architects, System Admins, Database
Developers/Admins and Java Developers
• Advocate for the role of the technical end-user to product management
• Drive grass-roots evaluation/feedback/adoption of Oracle product and technologies
• Grow technical communities as a resource/channel for internal groups
Approach
• Focus efforts on our most engaged communities (ACEs & Champions)
• Develop/implement audience specific strategies for increasing engagement
• Improve community infrastructure and provide active community management
• Establish OTN as the technical research hub for potential buyers
Reinvigorating our community from the inside out
Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Internal - Confidential12
Evolving from Growth to Engagement*
OTN is still the largest technical community in the world.
Our best opportunities involve engaging our existing community
more effectively on owned and 3rd party platforms.
We continue to focus on:
1. Driving from 3rd party sites to owned sites
2. Increasing engagement
3. Nurturing the next generation of advocates
4. Better alignment of investments to goals
*Parallels a shift from lead generation to lead qualification

Program Summary
• Virtual Technology Summit – A quarterly online virtual summit featuring a mix of
Oracle and community content. Events include hands-on-labs and are available on
demand
• OTN Workshop Kit (formerly Developer Day) – Kits that feature content from the
Virtual Technology Summit events will be made available for use by regional field
marketing units.
• Developer Challenges – OTN is launching a series of Developer Challenges
starting with the Java Embedded Challenge in FY14/15. Additional challenges will be
created for other solution areas.
• 3rd Party Events – OTN will continue to provide a prioritized list of 3rd party events
by audience, but will no longer financially support event participation. OTN, however,
will increase travel support for Community Manager participation.
• ACE Associate – OTN will be adding a new level to that ACE program to facilitate
expansion regionally and into new technology areas.
PLATFORM UPGRADES
Forums Upgrade – OTN
continues to invest
heavily in the forums to
improve the experience.
Local group functionality
will be added in early
FY15
Blogs Upgrade – OTN
will replace our blogging
infrastructure and overall
strategy, shifting away
from single author driven
blogs to a smaller number
of highly active group
blogs.

Java Champion Principles
 Java Champions are leaders; ideal candidates are leading Java-related projects, JUG
communities, and so on.
 Java Champions are technical luminaries; the candidate should be a Java engineer
or architect who is relatively senior and has lots of experience.
 Java Champions are independent-minded and credible; Java Champions may author
or publish content that is pro, neutral, or negative toward Oracle.
 Java Champions are involved with some really cool applications of Java
Technology or some humanitarian or educational effort. The application must be
openly available to the Java community (vs. a company-proprietary or government-
classified project).
 Java Champions are able to evangelize or influence other developers through their
own professional activities (via consulting, teaching, writing, speaking, etc.)
