Hmmm...I went looking at the Oracle site for Oracle Partner Network to
find out exactly what you get for joining and could not understand
exactly what they are offering. Somewhere in there I am guessing there
is software support. We would certainly be willing to pay an annual fee
to be able to create some more development environments but we can't
afford to pay any more full license fees.
Can somebody explain what you get for your annual license fee? Beyond
the cachet of being able to call ourselves an Oracle Partner, something
a government entitity may not be able to do, I want to know what we are
going to get. If development environments is it then thats the way to
go. An additional logo on our business cards won't be enough.

Because a company that writes software to sell might not be willing to
pay for Oracle licenses just so their application will work with it, but
Oracle will stand to make many more sales if that software product
becomes popular.
...that is precisely what the Oracle Partner Network is for. Anyone that
sells a product that works with oracle but isn't willing to pay to play
is just plain wrong. My opinion and I'm sticking to it.
