many friends could be made and much confusion avoided...

A simple s/sun.com/oracle.com/ won't work for e-mail. It would need to be
repeated runs of per-user mappings, since many users got different addresses
at Oracle, due to name changes (hi Val!), or conflicts with the 80,000+
existing Oracle employee names, etc. Also, different countries are migrating at different times - right now, only employees in 5 countries (including the
US) have migrated to oracle.com e-mail - many developers from our Asian
and European locations would have their e-mails bounce if you switched to
oracle.com addresses for them now.

IIRC, the mail will forward for several (9?) months. We'll investigate what our automation options are, as some things are being done internally for mappings that might prove useful.

Given all we have going on right now moving our data centers, a global swap probably won't happen until May at the earliest, but we'll verify when the mail forwarding will end before we pick dates.

If people want to updated their individual accounts in meantime, feel free.
