Ask Sam Greenblatt About CA's $1 Million Open Source Prize

Posted by Roblimo on Monday August 16, 2004 @04:00AM from the trying-to-win-open-source-hearts-and-minds dept.

Several large companies have recently released previously proprietary software into the open source wilds. The splashiest announcement along these lines was from CA, who opened their Ingres r3database -- and offered up to $1 million in incentives for development of Ingres migration tools. For those of you who want to earn a piece of that money, and for all of us who have questions about how and why CA is cozying up to open source developers, the person with the answers is Sam Greenblatt, Senior Vice President and Chief Architect of CA's Linux Technology Group. So ask, already. We'll send 10 of the highest-moderated questions to Sam by email, and post his answers as soon as we get them back.

How do you respond to claims that Ingress is dying?
