Meet the Fusion Middleware Task Force

The IOUG Fusion Task Force is a group of recognized leaders in the IOUG Fusion Middleware space.  The concept of this portal came out of conversations within this group.  We would all get together at Oracle beta meetings and conferences and share our insights into different middleware components and our experiences.  One day someone said, we ought to be recording these conversations because there is a lot of value in sharing our experiences.  Because we were discussing a lot of items that could not be found in documentation or white papers.  I then thought this is a great idea, how can we broaden it and share with all of our members which turned into this portal site.
