Oracle, the open source company?
Blog: Capgemini CTO Blog
The suggestion that Oracle is an open source or even pro open source company for many would by seen as an oxymoron. Yet within the technology parts of the company outside of database, that is precisely what is happening. We have seen movements in this direction over the last couple of years with things like JET (JavaScript Extension Toolkit) and Hudson (CI tool) but things have been really changing.
Earlier this year we saw the announcements of Oracle handing control of Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) to the Eclipse Foundation (see here). The suggestions that Java’s change of management as well have been interpreted as Oracle’s change of heart and potentially moving away from the support of a lot of the Development community. But OpenWorld 2017 clearly pointed to something bigger.
