The short version is that we're a small team of 4 (2 developers), driving innovation within Oracle, i.e. not a product team per se. We have Rails skills already, so it was an easy way to get started and make some headway.<br><br>Mix is JRuby on Rails, running on the Oracle stack (apps server and database); that's what it is now, but I have no insight into its future. We no longer manage it, so you'll want to ping the Marketing team (on the Mix blog?) for specifics. If you poke around here, you can trace the history of Mix.

Let me know if you need help with that! Fair point, it’s probably more a case of showing that there is a lot we can say and how well that is received by customers.

You know I can't provide guidelines on this aside from 'read the policies legal has established'. However, saying something is better than saying nothing, and most legal restrictions, e.g. rev rec, are well understood by customers. Even if they don't like the answer or think it's evasive, customers would rather have that than silence. People need to establish a voice anyway, like you've done.

Providing guidelines for oracle folks in this area would be a good idea.
