Hey, hey, this is well worth a read: MySQL to Offer Linux Bundled with Database as Free Download<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, the MySQL Forge<\/a> has been announce and has been live for a while… Even the Forge Wiki<\/a> has content that isn’t created by me! Ha, the community at work…<\/p>\n

And Ubuntu, now supported by MySQL. There’s a relationship there. Mark Shuttleworth gave a great keynote, talked about the relationship with upstreams, the new MySQL relationship they have, and how he was really excited to be here. Thawte I believe, ran on MySQL :-) <\/p>\n

If there’s one thing to take away from his talk it’d have to be the fact that he’s also a VC and a lot of people ask him for money. Don’t go to a VC and tell them, “Hey, I’ve got Project Y, and I expect it to be the next X.” Why be the next X, you want to be unique, yes?<\/p>\n

All that aside, I guess I can mention in public what I’ve been up to for a while… Well, the press release mentioned it. Whatever. So, now all we have to do is plod on for June 1st, and thats a good one month more for me to work hard at this… <\/p>\n

And you thought I was a big fan, tracking him almost every month, in a different country, or a different continent!
\n(well, actually I am :P)<\/p>\n
