The Oracle Community at community.oracle.com (formerly the OTN Forums) provides a home for communities across Oracle, and allows you to connect with peers and be rewarded for your expertise. And to help make it even better, we've just launched advanced Rewards and Recognition.
Our new Rewards and Recognition program rewards your participation and knowledge, and includes expertise tracks that let you earn special badges for your insight about some of our key technologies: Java, Database, Server & Storage Systems, and Fusion Middleware, with more coming soon.
Visit Profile > Reputation to take a look at all the badges that you can earn, and hover over your list of badges to set your "Me in 3" -- the badges that will be displayed on your activity throughout the community. Read more about the new program in our FAQ. Then search for your area of interest and get started asking and answering questions today!
P.S.: Now, you can also submit Ideas. Do you have an idea of how we can make the community better and more useful for you? Visit Oracle Community Ideas to create an Idea, discuss that idea with others in the community, and see how many votes your Idea gets. You will even earn the new "Thinker" badge for creating your first Idea!
