Are there any senior execs left at oracle? Seem like there are more departures every week. Soon it will be the three stooges, some A-kissers and the new college kids, and that will be it. Nobody with any knowledge and experience and Brian’s left.

Any idea when Oracle will resume the Green Card process. I was told six months from September, the time of Solaris layoffs. It should resume on March. Any news on the status and if it still the same?
