DETROIT ? The OJ.X applications development conference scheduled for Oct. 6 at Compuware?s world headquarters continues to book acts. Now Michigan native Uncle Kracker, who helped Detroit?s Kid Rock launch his career, will perform during the evening, as will Hard Lessons, a Detroit-based band.
Last week Compuware announced comedian Dennis Miller of Saturday Night Live fame, would entertain with his caustic brand of humor as well.
“This is a landmark, world-class conference for Compuware and an outstanding learning opportunity, offering something for everyone in the application development community,” said Larry Angeli, Vice President of Marketing for Compuware. “OJ.X is the perfect environment to display Compuware’s multi-platform flexibility and strategic partnerships, and Compuware is extremely pleased to welcome Microsoft, Eclipse and HP as OJ.X signature sponsors. Finally, the networking, social and entertainment aspects of OJ.X – with Dennis Miller, Uncle Kracker and others – are certain to entertain attendees.”
Three leading technology organizations are sponsoring this year’s expanded OJ.X (“OJ dot X”) conference. Microsoft Corp., Hewlett Packard (HP) and the Eclipse Foundation join OJ.X this year as premier sponsors, supporting the second-annual technology event. In addition to sponsorship of this year’s event, experts from these organizations will share software development insights, business experiences and future plans with OJ.X attendees.
“We are pleased to work with our valued partner, Compuware, on an event like this that supports such a rich ecosystem around Microsoft Visual Studio 2005,” said Microsoft’s General Manager for Visual Studio Rick LaPlante, who will deliver an OJ.X keynote address on managing the software life cycle. “The Detroit location of OJ.X allows Microsoft to showcase the strategic value of our products to the heart of the automotive and manufacturing sectors.”
