I regret that I will not be able to participate in this F2F meeting.  I will continue to participate in the teleconferences and hope to attend the next F2F, which I believe will be this Fall.

The meetings will be held in a room in the Oracle Conference Center.  This

is a separate building on the main Oracle campus.  Its address is 350

Oracle Parkway.  On the attached map it is indicated in pink above the 320

garage.

Directions to Oracle Conference center:

From US-101 (either north or south) :

Exit at Ralston/Marine World Parkway, east [towards the bay]

Left turn at Oracle Parkway.  (There are two entrances to Oracle Parkway --

left at the first light or left at the third light off of Marine World

Parkway.

Conference center is 350 Oracle Parkway.

If you turned at the first light the conference center is on your right

after the second stop sign.  If you turned at the third light the

conference center is on your left after the second stop sign.

There is ample parking.  The Conference Center reserved parking is in the

lot (not the parking structures) opposite the Conference Center.  You can

also park in any of the parking structures.

Airports:

San Francisco Intl Airport is closest.  However, San Jose or Oakland

airports are close enough to be convenient (~ 45 minute drive to the area

around Oracle).

Hotels:

I have attached a Word document with hotels close to Oracle as well as

those close to SFO airport.  The ones in the list that are closest to

Oracle are:

      Sofitel Hotel

      Summerfield Suites

Some budget hotels that are close are:

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Belmont, Ca

1650 El Camino Real

Belmont, CA US 94002

Econo Lodge Belmont

630 El Camino Real

Belmont, CA US 94002

Motel 6

1101 Shoreway Road

Belmont, CA 94002

PHONE: (650) 591-1471

Info: http://www.motel6.com/reservations/motel_detail.asp?MotelId=1251

I don't have particular recommendations for any of the above.  One thing to

consider outside convenience to Oracle is convenience to doing something at

night.  The hotels closet to Oracle (or generally those on the list) aren't

"in town".  Towns however are within easy reach of any/all (3-5 miles).

The downtowns with the best food/night life are San Francisco and Palo

Alto.  Staying in Palo Alto would mean about a 25 minute commute.

Depending on where you stay in SF you would face a 35-55 minute commute.

In the case of SF (and any northbound accommodations) 101 is usually

congested the first 4 miles above Oracle in the evening adding to your

commute times.  An alternative to driving is to take the train.  Oracle

provides a free shuttle service in the morning and evening to/from the

train stations.  For example, there is a Westin Hotel in downtown Palo Alto

a 2 minute walk from the train station which should have you to Oracle in

roughly the same time as driving.
