I just discovered this summary of a speech about Oracle’s participation in open source (and open standards) given by Omar Tazi. Apparently, Tazi is Oracle’s Chief Open Source Evangelist. (Who knew?) Tazi himself affirms that the summary is reasonably accurate in his comment on it. (It doesn’t look like he’s aware of our work with Sakai, though.) At any rate, if you’re interested in learning more about what Oracle is doing in the realm of open source, you might want to read Omar Tazi’s blog.
