[Benchmarking] Press Release Ready for Review

[Cameron Shorter]

Andrea, Mike,
Who have you been talking with at Oracle? I can't seem any Oracle 
representatives registered for the FOSS4G conference, which is a shame 
because FOSS4G attracts a lot of delegates from the Government sector, 
which is one of Oracle's strong user bases.

(I got a phone call from a State department on Friday asking which 
technologies were being showcased in the WMS Shootout and whether it was 
worth leaving early of hanging around to the end. When he heard 
"GeoServer, ESRI,  and Oracle" he was quite excited as he is currently 
evaluating all these technologies.)

I wonder whether you could invite Oracle to sponsor FOSS4G, or take out 
an exhibition booth.
Kirsty, our sponsorship organisor is CCed on this email.

Feel free to forward on this email if you wish.
