See the Cup in SF

Did you miss the victory presentations made by BMW Oracle Racing in the spring? Do you want to see the Cup in person? You’ll get your chance at Oracle Openworld 2010 at the Moscone Center September 19-23. Tom Ehman, Ian "Fresh" Burns, and others from the team will be on hand to present the Cup on the 19th at 7:45 p.m, the 20th and 21st at 10:15 a.m. and 3 p.m., and the 22nd at 10:15 a.m.

Normally you’d have to pay $75 to get into the "Discover" portion of Oracle Openworld 2010, which gives you access to OpenWorld, JavaOne and Oracle Develop. But the team is offering free admission to the event exclusively for readers of Latitude 38 and Scuttlebutt so sailors get a shot at seeing the cup as well. To get your free admission, you need to do the following:

Go to www.eventreg.com/oracle/openworld2010/sanfrancisco/attendee

Then select "Discover" on the home page. On the login page you’ll need to enter an email address, create a username and password and enter the code: ODL10. Then you’ll fill out your contact info, and complete a short survey asking you about a bunch of things that were over our heads — we just checked "n/a" on all of them. Then you’re good to go. If all the stuff on the surveys makes sense to you, then you’ll probably want to stay for the other stuff!
