| Annual ACE Program Review |
|
An email with details about the upcoming annual review was recently sent to all ACE program members. All ACE program members who joined on or before February 29, 2020 will be reviewed. Please be sure that all activities completed on or after June 1, 2019 are reported in the Groundbreakers App: https://apex.oracle.com/go/ogb_activity
Note that we review your entries and adjust points when necessary. We will add comments to every entry that we have changed the amount of points so you know why we made the change. To see if we have changed the number of points awarded, go to https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/oracle_ace/r/aceevals/
All Associates who joined on or before February 29, 2020 are automatically reviewed for promotion to the Oracle ACE level. We review your contributions (including but not limited to number of contributions, depth of content, focus on Oracle products), and take into consideration if you are active in at least two channels. Therefore, you do not need to email us to request a review for a promotion. Please see the earlier email for more review information. |

| Changing Role of the DBA; From Database Developer to Data Scientist in 6 Weeks! |
Presenter: Charlie Berger, Sr. Director Product Management, Machine Learning, AI and Cognitive Analytics
Oracle Machine Learning, included free in the Oracle Database EE, SE2 and Autonomous Database, “moves the algorithms; not the data” for 100% in-database processing. Oracle makes building and deploying ML models straightforward. Oracle data professionals commonly perform supporting tasks for “data scientists,” typically 80% of the work. In this webinar, Charlie Berger shares a logical, evolutionary path for Oracle data professionals to leverage their domain knowledge, valuable data skills, and add machine learning. Like Penn and Teller’s reveal of how magic tricks work, Charlie shows how easy it is for Oracle data professionals to leverage their SQL skills and data knowledge to build and deploy predictive models throughout the enterprise. Using many examples, demos, and sharing his extensive experience, Charlie shows you how to extract insights, make predictions, and become an “Oracle Data Scientist” in just 6 weeks! |
