There are plenty of places Oracle can demo or hold a workshop. There
are not so many places developers of Free and Open Source Software
can do the same.
Let the non-free companies come and learn about FOSS. I'm not sure we
have to teach the FOSS developers about non-free software.

Developing GeoSpatial applications for Oracle XE
(the free Express Edition of the Oracle database).
Looks great to me! I would go (hope it's not cross scheduled with
*my*
workshop...). And the software they are showing is free. So, a
perfect fit.
I am risking a flamewar here, but I thought I should raise the
issue here.
Which kind of 'free' are we talking here? Speech or beer?
On another related point, I am always careful with corporate
workshops/lectures/whatever, as they too often tend to be more of
the advertising than the technical type.
