Oracle and Open in the same sentence?
As in "please open you wallet".
They do depend on a lot of open source projects.
Oracle has Java and MySQL... I mean, they're "open"... right‽
Except Oracle didn't create either of those, Sun Microsystems did. Oracle bought Sun, and then made both products worse.
If you're going to ignore the ‽... then at least get the facts straight: Sun didn't develop MySQL (est. 1995), they bought it (2008) soon before getting acquired (2010) by Oracle, which is when the original author forked it into MariaDB.
Oracle.... good?
bizarro world
Its a circle. Then theyll get complacent and then theyll become the bad corpo and IBM will be the good corpo. its the circle of PR.
Nah. Oracle is trying to pivot from "people noticed we hate humans" into "Like Microsoft, we embrace open source now". I'm glad to see it, but also very skeptical that it represents a long term change.
Edit: Oracle's stance on basic accessibility seemed really bad, to me, for a long time. I don't actually think they hate humans...probably.
I mean I trust oracle about as I trust my ex. But this something I suppose.
Mhm.. no Rocky/Alma?
CIQ is the company behind Rocky and they joined. I believe Alma is taking a slightly different approach than the others, hence they did not join.
I guess it's good that at least some of the interested parties are working together and it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
