Upside: Collab.net signs with Oracle Jul 31, 2000, 22 :39 UTC (1 Talkback[s]) (4400 reads) (Other stories by Sam Williams)
"Until recently, the company's highest profile clients -- Hewlett-Packard, which employs
Collab.net to help with its eSpeak project, and Sun Microsystems, which last week
announced that Collab.net would maintain its new OpenOffice.org site, have both opted to release
their work under free software licenses."
"That all changed Monday when database giant Oracle announced it was employing
Collab.net to help manage its Oracle Technology Network, a loosely knit collection of sites and
services designed for the 1-million-member Oracle developer community."
"This is the first ever environment built specifically for a targeted community of software
developers," says Bernie Mills, vice president of marketing at Collab.Net. "Oracle wants to triple
the size of its developer base over the next few years, and this is an ambitious first step."
