I agree with what you are saying and would be reluctant to have to =
choose
which conference to attend. It cost AUS$6000-7000 min to attend IOUW =
from
Australia and I would not be making the decision lightly.
It is a pity that we have to choose between IOUW and OpenWorld, and for
what ever reasons IOUG decided to have IOUW separate from OpenWorld I =
feel
that we should support IOUG. I will not make any judgement on the
decisions being taken by IOUG or Oracle. I have great respect for =
Oracle
as a company but I also know that the bigger you get the more powerful =
you
are. Too much power and influence can be a dangerous thing. A =
particular
S/W company in Redmond/Seattle with the initials MS comes to mind.o
Which conference to attend? I would love to attend IOUW96 but I will =
take
option 3 ie undecided. Maybe we should all give this year a miss and =
let
both parties come to their senses.
Come on guys & gals, lets all get in the sand-pit and play together like
REAL-partners. It is only going to hurt EVERYONE. Not to mention the =
jokes
that will be circulating in the IT community. The winners are the other
S/W vendors. Please, please, please get together face to face around a
table for a beer or two and sort it out before too much damage is done.
off my soapbox
