You do realize the Apprentices/Janitors program was initiated by the 
community?

I am the acting chairman of the UK IUA and I had already made it an 
objective that the IUA would encourage Ingres Corp to get busy with this. 
When I saw Mark Winston's suggestion (Mark is in the U.S.) I took it to Emma 
McGrattan, and she seized it and took it to her management.   This is not 
top-down.

Top-down is what we had till two weeks ago.   What you are seeing today is 
exactly what you are asking for: grass-roots developers in the wild taking 
an initiative.

Please join us.
