Oracle buys Global Knowledge Software
Oracle has bought Global Knowledge Software, a developer of enterprise software training automation tools, the companies said Thursday.
Global Knowledge Software (GKS) develops tools for building self-service training courses for enterprise software vendors including Oracle, Microsoft, and SAP. Its former parent, Global Knowledge, sells IT and business training services.
Such training tools for enterprise employees are increasingly necessary as more and more business functions are automated and turned into self-service applications.
Oracle, a long-standing GKS customer, used the company's tools to build its Oracle User Productivity Kit as a complement to its Oracle Tutor software. It plans to provide training content modules for all its application products using GKS tools, it said.
GKS also supplies development tools to some of Oracle's competitors, including SAP and Microsoft.
Oracle said it will continue to support customers that use GKS tools to train on non-Oracle applications, and hopes to expand this part of the business. Customers building their databases of training materials on database engines other than Oracle's, such as MySQL, will also continue to receive support.
The companies hope to close the deal in the third quarter. They did not disclose financial details.
Around 130 GKS employees will join Oracle as a result of the deal.

Has Google Redefined Beta?
netbuzz writes "Someone finally took the time to do a count of all the Google apps marked 'beta.' And with fully 45% of its products carrying that familiar tag — including 4-year-old Gmail — Google says there's an explanation: Beta doesn't mean to them what it has long meant to the rest of the tech community. 'We believe beta has a different meaning when applied to applications on the Web,' says a company spokesman."

Will 2009 Be Open or Closed?
As the end of 2008 approaches, people's thoughts naturally turn to 2009, and what it might hold. The dire economic situation means that many will be wondering what the year will bring in terms of employment and their financial situation. This is not the place to ponder such things, nor am I qualified to do so. Instead, I'd like to discuss a matter that is related to these larger questions, but which focusses on issues particularly germane to Linux Journal: will 2009 be a year in which openness thrives, or one in which closed thinking re-asserts itself?
