There's a post on lwn.net from April 2, 2001 about the Linux 2.5 kernel summit: https://lwn.net/2001/features/KernelSummit/ https://lwn.net/2001/features/KernelSummit/ From that article: " The first presentation was by Lance Larsh of Oracle who, essentially, provided a laundry list of changes and features Oracle would like to see in order to get better performance out of high-end, large database servers " ...bullet list...
