| Oracle OpenWorld ACE Director Product Briefing |
| One of the highlights of Oracle OpenWorld each year is the ACE Director Product Briefing. But since Oracle OpenWorld in Las Vegas is being replaced with a series of free virtual events, plans are underway to organize a virtual ACE Product Briefing. We'd love your feedback about what you want from this event. You will soon receive a survey so we can collect your input, but in the meantime, feel free to send any wonderful ideas to jennifer.nicholson@oracle.com. |

| Select the Correct Category When Reporting ACE Activities |
Apparently there is still some confusion about some of the activity categories, particularly regarding the difference between "Article (in 3rd party publication)" and "Blog post (includes LinkedIn)."
The key difference between these two categories is a matter of who controls the publication process. If you control when, where, and how the content is published, the activity should be reported as "Blog post (includes LinkedIn)."
However, if you did not control publication, that is, if you had to submit your content to the editor of a web site or magazine for consideration for publication, that activity should be reported as "Article (in 3rd party publication)."
Another issue: If the content was written by your employee, do not report that as an ACE activity. If you didn't write it, you don't get the points.
Similarly, marketing content for your company or employer should not be reported as an ACE activity. The content you create as an ACE must have value to the community as how-to-technical content. |
