- otazi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Nice to see you in Austin and great summary of my presentation. Looking forward to talking some more when you come the bay area. I think you said it all, we know what it takes to work successfully with the OSS community and we are moving in that direction. We have a very healthy relationship with the OSS community and it's only going to get better. I didn't see anything in your entry WRT the SOA stuff I presented but then again, you are (just like me) an OSS guy at heart :)

I'm not sure that Oracle is a friend to open source, but they know how to participate in the community successfully. Going beyond that, and getting the respect of the open source community at large, will require the type of action you mention in your comment.

Oracle has the resource (and nerve) to do this, unlike Big Blue.
