Are Quotas Good For Open Source?

,----[ Quote ]
| Sounds great doesnât it? But rightfully so, 
| many in the open source community say thanks 
| but where is the beef here? Who is monitoring 
| to make sure these policies are followed? 
| What are the repercussions of not following 
| these policies? Setting these policies at the 
| cabinet level does not trickle down to the 
| procurement office per say.

Oracle climbs up the food chain

,----[ Quote ]
| The fact that Oracle has decided to do most 
| of what Sun was doing, only better, is bad 
| news for many other vendors. Its breadth now 
| rivals that of HP and IBM. And that means 
| Oracle is going to be a serious (or more 
| serious) competitor on many fronts.
