Overall
I have got a lot of new information and I will share it with the user group members by email
and during user group members meetup.
Some closing comments from the user group leaders:
•I believe this summit had the perfect balance between Oracle messages and user group content.Good to measure our UG against methods used by other UG's to see if we are aligned or working in a total different way.
•We should improve the user group community platform and make it work. I think it is the need of the hour. User groups should not be fragmented by using multiple systems. Cloud is our present
•Sharing between Java and Oracle User Groups should be increased again.

Some interesting notes and open questions:
Bitcoins
was hacked?
Security
can make revenue to a business, example apple store
Sony
had bridge with employees , and they got security bridge.
Avoid
security integration trap by using a cloud?
Do you user UBER example https://www.uber.com/cities/tallinn
Business sees the only opportunities in Cloud, IT
sees only the problems Cloud solutions are purchased by business, not IT.
Sam
Hall -> speaking
about self education , people more and more search in web and in social
networsk, blogs, videos, events, they dont want to go out. It is a research.
Also about EOUC Ambassador Election 2015:
During the EOUC Summit 2015 in Lisbon the Oracle user group presidents decided that the EOUC ambassador program will be continued. In the future there should be two ambassadors with a two year term each; they have to be elected in alternating years. The detailed process breakdown and a description of the ambassador role can be found at the EOUC Community site. Once the nominee accepts his nomination he can upload a manifesto and a photo which can be viewed via the following public link
As a president of LVOUG I will continue to support EOUC Ambassador with funding.
And at the end we received 4 sketch notes from Linda Van Der Pal from the JDuchess. This is a very interesting summary for this event! Check it out
