Well, that’s right. Student applications close this Saturday, the 24th, so I’d be right in saying its mid-week, so get your applications coming in for the Google Summer of Code<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To be a bit of a tease, MySQL has actually upped the amount of projects that we think students can accomplish, by adding a brand new section on Replication and Backup Development<\/a>. Everyone talks about backing up, and this is an excellent way for a student to get inspired by doing something seriously important!<\/p>\n

Sheeri Kritzer<\/a>, long time MySQL DBA and prolific Planet MySQL<\/a> author, has also decided that she’s going to mentor MySQL Auditing Software<\/a>. While this is not something that will make the main tree (i.e. its not part of the server), it is excellent to be another project all by itself. More supporting MySQL-based software, is a good thing. And it truly shows that MySQL is working alongside the community!<\/p>\n

Well, thats all. I’ll go back to fielding your questions and stuff. Its amazing to note that being a project administrator isn’t exactly the easiest task. When Google tell you, you’ll be needing a lot of time, they’re right.<\/p>\n
