Note on Oracle's Acquisition of Sun Microsystems
Written by Mary Elizabeth McNeely, President of DOUG

In late January, Oracle announced the finalized acquisition of Sun.  This is undoubtedly one of the most significant events the technology community will witness in the next few years.
 
I attended the post-acquisition press conference Wednesday at the Oracle campus in Redwood Shores, California.  It was a marathon event, lasting 4 1/2 hours.  Absolutely fascinating!
 
I encourage you to view the conference online.  The webcast is broken into several files – the longest one is an hour, so you can easily view the segments at your leisure.  See http://www.oracle.com/us/sun/044498.
 
How this merger will affect the Dallas Oracle Users Group, is still an unfolding saga.  I’ll keep you posted
