More market-speak? Ask them if they're willing to give a technical
presentation on implementing ClusterFS using Linux. (Oracle angle is how
Oracle takes advantage of that architecture.) Or, how about tuning Linux
filesystems (any of ext2/3, Reiser, JFS, XFS, ... [implementing
asynchronous IO?]) and/or tweaking the Linux kernel for Oracle.

I'd like to hear someone from Oracle talk about Linux. I've heard a couple
of their real techno-geek types talk about Oracle internals, and they have
some sharp people. But I hope it can be kept in the Linux/Tech framework.
