RE: Off Topic: Re: Informix Job Posting - UK Only
An off-topic exchange arising from a UK-only Informix job posting. Norma Sebastian welcomed Informix job postings, Data Goob asked about big new Informix customers and disparaged an Oracle conference, Neil Truby said only one brand-new customer was won that year, and Mark Townsend disputed the claim about Indian attendees. No technical content.

Are there any big customer wins for Informix? Still haven't heard anything! Are there any new customers worth mentioning? By the way I heard the buzz on the floor at the Oracle conference this week was that most of the people attending were from India. Probably will be more beneficial next conference to just host it in India to help all those companies doing the outsourcing save even more money by not having it in one of the most expensive towns on the planet, San Francisco.

Exactly 0.41% of the attendees at OW in San Francisco cited India as the country they are from. There are more people attending from Mexico and Japan than from India. India HAS just recently had their own OW conference, as has Shanghai, Sao Paulo, London, Amsterdam and Melbourne.
