Oracle Linux saga continues: Part Deux

Apparently it was not just speculation. According to Bill Snyder it seems to be getting closer. Oracle's idea of making its own Linux Distro is a station that is long gone. I would say better take a good look at RedHat. It's in a hot seat and in a very "buy me" situation, since it stole JBoss from Oracle.

Now there's talk on Wall Street that Oracle may use its annual analyst meeting in July to announce its debut as a Linux provider. Goldman Sachs analyst Rick Sherlund took the possibility seriously enough to publish a 36-page note on the subject this week and convene a conference call with investors and independent Linux experts to discuss the matter.

What I don't know if it's just a war of words between Ellison and Szulik or something really what Oracle wants to do. I did mention and warn Oracle against the "I too wanna build my own little Linux distro".

So if its just to hurt each others image and bring shares down then its pretty lame. If that's not the case then Oracle and RedHat can stand together and pretty strong too!

Redhot Future Of IT Part I :Marketing yourself as IT professional

I had promised about the "RedHot IT Future Series" and so we discuss here how you should market yourself EFFECTIVELY as an IT professional in this new (and dangerous) web age! Web is the place where you're a hero today and villain tomorrow. While there are lots of professionals who are active on the web, not all are enjoying a good reputation as they got "personal" with others and got into a cockfight. The passive IT professional has nothing to lose but nothing to gain at all!

I know "marketing" might seem as a greasy term but the idea is to have the truth about you out there. You know you're a good person and your family knows that you're really smart person but the rest of the world doesn't!

So the question is how do I market myself on the web as a true "nouveau IT professional". A guy who companies will be tempted to pick up the phone as say "Hey, we wanna talk with you. Can you fly over to Palo Alto (or Guatemala or Johan…
