I am sure that to get UMN MapServer on the list, it just "has to be 
done" - in the end its mostly in the interest of Oracle.
I forward these emails and opinions to an Oracle representative here in 
Germany who I have just talked to about this a few days ago, maybe he 
can enlighten us on how to do it.

Hello Mr. Viehmann,
when we met last week in the context of the GDI-NRW we talked about the 
use of Oracle as a spatial data server for UMN MapServer and that we 
could achieve very good results for example at the ministry of economics 
in Rhineland-Palatinate here in Germany. In the userlist it was now 
discussed why UMN MapServer is not on the list of partners:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/spatial/spatial_partners.htm

As the use of UMN MapServer is continually spreading and a lot of the 
potential customers already use Oracle and might not know that they do 
not have to switch to another database when they use UMN MapServer, we 
suggest that it would be a good idea to add it to the list.

As the "Vendor" the "University of Minnesota" should appear
http://www.umn.edu
The "Product" name is "UMN MapServer"
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/

As "Description" I would suggest something like "Open Source Web Map 
Server, Web Feature Server and Clients" (maybe this sould be discussed 
with somebody from the inner circle, Steve Lime.)

Best regards,
Arnulf Christl.
