The SkySQL and MariaDB Roadshow comes to Sweden:
Stockholm 7 February 2013, 16:30-19:30, Dramaten Restaurang Pauli
SkySQL and Monty Program are on the road with our joint - free - roadshow in Stockholm where Monty Widenius will unveil his vision of the future of the MySQL database via MariaDB.
In addition, we will have speakers from Codership/Galera, as well as SkySQL experts.
Those who’ve been around the MySQL world are probably aware of the much-discussed topics of GPL licensing, dual licensing, and in particular, licensing of the client libraries (also called connectors or drivers) and the FOSS exception to that licensing. This is newly relevant with the announcement of a permissively-licensed MySQL-compatible client library for MariaDB.
The difference is that this time there’s been some question about the provenance and history of the source code. Some people asked me about this. Some of them were aware of a relatively obscure detail: there’ve been permissively licensed MySQL client libraries for years, in the form of libdrizzle, a BSD-licensed library for the Drizzle fork of MySQL.
Here are some of the thoughts that seemed to be going through peoples’ minds:
She hired the 400+ original MySQLers … and sets out to hire the SkySQLers of tomorrow! Boel Larsen blogs about open positions & life at SkySQL - and wants you to join the fun!
Those of you who know me also know that I spent over six years working for MySQL HR (for another couple of years I stayed on with Sun). I joined as employee thirty-something, so running HR meant that I was more or less involved with hiring all of the 400 or so employees who joined after me. I knew pretty much everyone by name.
In my ongoing efforts to migrate my fun side projects and coding experiments from SVN to Git I’ve come across some of my favorite Python based apps – which are all available in their respective repos on BitBucket, as follows:
Unfortunately jQuery doesn’t come with default form validation to check for ip-addresses or subnet masking. So without a long winded explanation here’s the code. Just include this as a separate JS file like the rest of your page’s JS.
// 'ipv4': IPv4 Address Validator
$.validator.addMethod('ipv4', function(value) {
var ipv4 = /^[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}$/;
return value.match(ipv4);
}, 'Invalid IPv4 address');
// 'netmask': IPv4 Netmask Validator
$.validator.addMethod('netmask', function(value) {
var mask = /^[1-2]{1}[2,4,5,9]{1}[0,2,4,5,8]{1}\.
[0-2]{1}[0,2,4,5,9]{1}[0,2,4,5,8]{1}\.
[0-2]{1}[0,2,4,5,9]{1}[0,2,4,5,8]{1}\.
[0-9]{1,3}$/;
return value.match(mask);
}, 'Invalid IPv4 netmask');
You can use it like this.
$("#myform_here").validate({
rules:{
ipaddress:{
required:true,
ipv4:true
},
netmask:{ …[Read more]
As a follow up to the previous post about logstash, here are a couple of related init scripts for anyone implementing the OpenSource Log Analytics setup that is explained over at divisionbyzero. These have been tested on CentOS 6.3 and are based on generic RC functions from Redhat so they will work with Redhat, CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux, etc.
