More conferences = fewer people attending Oracle conference
                 = fewer dollars from attendees
                 = fewer dollars from exhibiting vendors

Independent conference = possible criticism of Oracle

Oracle controlled conference = No criticism of Oracle

• No viewpoints conflicting with Oracle's

Don't get me wrong. I think Oracle has fine products and I am a shareholder :-) , but all companies like to control the press coverage and publicity about their products.

I'm glad OAUG is remaining independent.
