I'm writing this message as a Linux user and a member of LUV - not as a member of the LUV committee.
Avi, you have a history of making good technical contributions to LUV and of representing your employer well. However I think that Oracle has been under- represented given their technical work and their importance in the industry. I think that it would be good to have some Oracle employees give talks at LUV meetings as they are doing a lot that LUV members could learn about. Avi you are obviously well qualified to give such talks, but I think it would be good to get other Oracle employees with different skills involved too. A lecture about running the Oracle Database on Linux would be of interest. Also Red Hat has been running free public events teaching people about their products and services which I have found to be good value (and I have recommended some on this list). Does Oracle run such events? If so please inform the LUV committee and we can forward to the list if appropriate (I don't think it's appropriate for Linux companies to advertise on this list, but it's OK for LUV members who aren't associated with companies in question to recommend them). Some years ago there was an Oracle database install-fest, that was a useful event and many people learned a lot there. I think it would be good if Oracle ran another of those, if that happens I think it would be appropriate for LUV to promote that. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
