Oracle Acquisitions... cannot remember all of them?

A friend of mine asked me some questions about Oracle and acquisitions. He could not, remember all of them and when they occurred... If you have the same questions take a look to the Oracle Acquisition page on Oracle.com since 2005:

• Oracle Strategic Acquisition

Some others are probably missing since in 2003/2004, Collaxa was acquired by Oracle. If you do not remember Collaxa was the first release of the BPEL Process Manager. You can also take a look to a part of the site that I like that is the Oracle's history.

Oracle Open World 2007: presentations available online

For the first time since 2001, I was not participating at OOW... As you may know I have moved back to France and now working for a new company Sogeti. So I am quite happy to se that once again all the presentations are available for download there:

-> OOW 2007 Content Catalog.

I personnaly looked at OracleAS and Java presentations, and especially the one regarding SOA, performances, security and web Services:

• New Features of Java EE 5.0 and How to Use Them
• Maximizing Your Java Middleware Performance on Multicore Platforms

Some other presentations that I would like to read/see:

• Java EE/Java SE/Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) Security in a Nutshell
• A New Approach to Diagnosing Java Application Performance
• Next-Generation Web Services Infrastructure and Interoperability
• Performance Management for SOA Applications

and I will take more time do read some others...
