                                 PRESENTATION

                            Ingres is Open Source

                                      by

                                 John Murphy
                           <john.murphy at ingres.com>
                                     and
                                    others

      Ingres is a well known Relational Data Base Management
      System similar to Oracle, DB2, and many others.
      Like Oracle, Ingres has been around for a long time,
      has a significant user base and I (David Mandel) believe
      it has more built-in and/or add-on tools than postgres or
      mySQL.

      Ingres has been available on Linux for quite some time,
      but Ingres is now Open Source and Ingres Corporation
      is developing an Open Source straegy for Ingres.

      John Murphy will be in town and will tell us more about Ingres.
      He is also hoping to bring an associate to discuss a new
      generation of Ingres where they bundle a Linux distribution
      from rPath as part of Ingres.
