As a regular visitor, I attended Oracle OpenWorld for the eighth time this year. In this period, I saw the development of Oracle’s software applications and possibilities. As in previous years, I was invited to join the Oracle ACE dinner, to spar and catch up with other ACEs.
Like every year, the speakers were mostly Oracle employees and customers who work closely together with the company and use the Oracle technology.Sadly, it’s rare to have a speaker outside of Oracle give presentations. A missed opportunity, if you ask me. Though this year there were also various contributions from Microsoft employees. This is because Oracle and Microsoft have been intensely working together.
Making choices
There are so many presentations and events at OpenWorld that you really have to choose. I asked myself: what do I find interesting? That’s why I focused on my own fields: WebLogic, Containers and Systems. In my report, I’d like to share the most important news about the following four topics:
Java EE Roadmap
WebLogic Roadmap
Containers and Microservices
Partnership with Microsoft

As his career developed, his responsibility shifted from a deep technical perspective to a more visionary role.
At the end of 2011, Michel authored a book on WebLogic Administration for beginners.

In 2012, he received the IT Industry-recognized title of Oracle ACE for being an ambassador and community leader in his area of expertise. In 2019, this was enhanced to Oracle ACE Director. Michel is asked regularly to speak about technology and the impact of innovation at national and international conferences such as KubeCon, Oracle OpenWorld, Groundbreakers Developers Tours and others. He contributes actively to the OpenSource community and solutions regarding containerization, CI/CD and DevOps.
In October 2021, Michel took an exciting step in his career by becoming Business Unit Manager for Qualogy Managed Services. While he still has a finger on the pulse in terms of technology, he is expanding his scope by combining his experience with the new insights gained in his new position.
