Oracle 11g: The motivation, not the fruition
If you've been casually following the headlines from the last few weeks as Oracle released the Oracle Fusion 11g middleware suite, you might be forgiven for thinking that the Sun-Oracle union was already paying dividends. "Java development big part of Oracle Fusion strategy" cried Computerworld. "Will Oracle's Java-based Fusion middleware 'fuse' with Java?" asked IT Systems News. The system is designed to keep developers within an Oracle world, and thus provide motivation to keep sending money to Redwood Shores. Obviously Java is the big tool in the arsenal, using developers' existing skills and inclination to keep them within Oracle's ecosystem!

Biz break: Oracle plans to cut up to 1,000 jobs in Europe
Oracle plans to cut as many as 1,000 jobs in Europe, the CFDT labor union said on its Internet site today.
Of the total, about 250 jobs will be lost in France, equivalent to 16 percent of the company's workforce there, the CFDT said, citing meetings between Oracle management and the works committee on June 29 and 30.
Oracle "is forecasting growth that is significantly inferior to what was expected" as a justification for the cuts, and said they could help "maintain the operating margin to enable Oracle to stick to its long-term strategy," according to the CFDT. Oracle had 86,000 employees worldwide as of May 31.
