MySQL is featured on the Google Open Source Blog<\/strong>
\nJust after leaving JavaOne, Leslie pinged me on IRC to inform me that the MySQL project was featured on the Google Open Source blog<\/a>. Go on, read Moments of Inspiration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In other news from mentors, Colin Charles<\/a>, former mentor and 2008 organization administrator for MySQL<\/a> dropped a note to let us know that their Community Bonding period<\/a> is moving along swimmingly. So well, in fact, that their students are already delivering weekly status reports. Colin mentioned that their student Filippo Bollini<\/a> had crafted a particularly well written update<\/a>; it’s worth checking out for mentors wondering what sorts of information to collect from students or for students wondering what kind of details are most useful to their mentors.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations Filippo. I expect great things from you (as does Brian<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Start your engines!<\/strong>
\nStudents, and mentors alike, this is the week that the Summer of Code starts! Well, coding anyway. Its very encouraging to see all the weekly reports flow in, and once I catch a breath, I’ll be summarising them for all to see and keep up with how the MySQL SoC students of 2008 are doing.<\/p>\n
