Where Life Takes Me Next...
,----[ Quote ]
| You've probably seen the news - the
| Sun/Oracle transaction has closed. With the
| passing of that milestone, I can once again
| speak freely.
|
| Having had nine months to accelerate down
| the runway, there's not a doubt in my mind
| Oracle's takeoff and ascent will be fast
| and dramatic. I wish the combined entity
| the best of luck, and have enormous
| confidence in the opportunity.

| Farrell, Oracle's Chief Architect and

| middleware.The plan is to close the public
| facing version of Project Kenai and bring
| the project "inhouse" where, Farrell says,
| there are a number of internal projects
| which are a good fit for Kenai.

Sunset: The Oracle Acquisition Q&A
,----[ Quote ]
| If yesterdayâs epic five hour webcast
| discussing Oracleâs plans for its finally
| acquired Sun assets was a long time coming
| for the analysts listening in, you can
| imagine how much of a wait itâs been for
| those on both sides of the transaction.
| Itâs been roughly nine months, remember,
| since the database giant announced its
| intention to acquire the one time dot com
| darling.
