[BALUG-Talk] SF to pay Oracle $10M+ for more licenses?

[Wladyslaw Zbikowski]

Hi guys, I noticed this agenda item for today's SF Board of
Supervisors meeting. Seems like they've been asked to kick down an
additional 10 million bucks, on top of the 5 million already paid, for
more Oracle licenses. Is anyone in the know about this, or planning to
attend the meeting?
