Hi, We're still running Oracle and GIS. Though we do have built custom backend based on Django GIS backend - mainly to have support for Oracle XE, 3D functionality and in general to make it faster.
It's currently closed source but we're working on to open source it in hope that it could interest more wider audience (mainly because it would enable GIS use with free Oracle XE).
