The display area included Ness (late wakers, let's see what they swing), Aduva, someone selling books, Oracle, Nisha HR, Emet, IBM, PenguinIT and someone peddling CRM. If I forgot anyone, please tell me. The focus of this years go-linux seems to be "me-too!" It is quite obvious that Ness is me-toing, Xioma (the CRM peddlers) are me-toing (i.e. going to a Linux show), Emet is its old self (which is saying not a little), IBM... truth be told, I am not sure I understood what IBM did at the show, but they had at least one interesting and (GASP) knowledgable guy on the spot. Aduva was represented by two very disparate people - Lior Kissos and one other. Lior is somewhat overenthusiastic about Aduva's products, but that is quite refreshing - seeing an older guy not yet jaded. I talked to the PenguinIT people a bit - they seem quite get-go about this Linux thing. While interesting, this is a bit monomanic, and I think a bit wrongheaded - Linux is well and good, but is not sliced bread... The talks - which I listened to VERY partially - seemed to posses the great depth of tile and the great breadth of a needle. And Oracle... is. Marc -- ---MAV Marc A.
