Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Ellison's Oracle washes hands of OpenOffice

Oracle laying off the paid developers wouldn't be good for those people.
It's quite possible that we could make a push to get them hired elsewhere.

I'm due to send in an article, and they allow me a hell of a lot of freedom
on what I write about - can you give me a list of companies which would be
likely to hire OO programmers who have offices close to Oracle's office?
Does IBM for example have an office near there? If I have a list, I can
include it in the article :)

You know, a suggestion of places where they can look for work. They probably
already know where to look, but every little bit helps some times,
especially in a down economy.
