So far PHProjekt 6 (P6, see http://phprojekt.com) is already enhanced with
nice AJAX workflows and snappy user-experience. Nevertheless, we
discussed a way to provide synchronous communication and direct
information within the application.
Everybody knows GoogleMail with its easy to use frontend. Maybe
you use it for your daily work. In GoogleMail, there is no need
to refresh the page to receive a new mail, Google informs you
automatically whenever a new mail is available. But how is this
possible? The answer to this question is really simple: The
server triggers a signal informing that a new mail is available.
This technology is called Comet and describes a way how the
server communicates with the client [see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)
].

In a time when many tradeshows are experiencing lower then normal attendance the 8th Annual Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE 8x) had record attendance this past weekend in Los Angeles. I was there exhibiting and conducting a community training day for Zenoss and was very impressed by not only the quality of the program but the enthusiasm of the attendees.
Here are some of the highlights:
The Mini Conferences
On the Friday before the main SCaLE expo and speaking program starts many people hold …
[Read more]With the motivation from today’s public news on Twitter’s move from MySQL to Cassandra, my own skills desire following in-depth discussions at last November’s Open SQL Camp to consider Cassandra and yesterday’s discussion with a new client on persistent key-value store products, today I download installed and configured for the first time. Not that today’s news was unexpected, if you follow the Twitter Engineering Open Source projects you would have seen Cassandra as well as other products being used or evaluated by Twitter.
So I went from nothing to a …
[Read more]How do you build one of the busiest websites on the Internet? You wouldn’t guess the right answer to be, “You download some free software and hack it”…Actually the question is how do you build one of the world’s busiest websites that will scale affordably? You use open source software.
Twitter showed everyone their cards recently by publishing all the open source projects that they are contributing to. This is the picture of how open source software should work.
Organization has a a big, hard problem to solve. They write some software or update existing software and …

Fosdem 2010 was my 10th fosdem Edition (including the first
OSDEM)
As every year Fosdem suffered even more from it's own success.
On Friday evening ther was the obligatory Beer event... however as people need to eat to .. the Devops crowd fled the scene
I had made reservations for a 20 something group and with the
CentOS crowd joining us (as there was some overlap anyhow) we
were 25 when we arrived in the restaurant .
Dinner and Discussions were great .. I learned about some new projects and we had some insightfull dicussions on how fat your thin foil should be ...
After dinner we went back to the Beer Event were lots of Free Beer was tasted ...
Saturday was the first full day of Fosdem, as usual Fosdem was the victim of it's own success , too much interresting stuff to see .. too little time.
Lots of Devrooms had the "FULL" sign put up more than you want as
a visitor ...
I …
Well, for Matt Asay, I should start by congratulating you for the new job and nice title! (Also, we learn some intelligence from Matt's blog: apparently Canonical is already close to the size of MySQL AB at the time of the Sun acquisition.)
Usually we are told to "ignore the trolls" and all that. The blogosphere unfortunately seems to be full of commentators who like to have share their opinion - even while they are entirely clueless. Sometimes, like the comments on Slashdot, it is ok and considered part of the entertainment. Sometimes it is harmless, because nobody reads that blog. And sometimes, it is just unacceptable:
Following the opening keynote “Dolphins, now and beyond”, Marc Delisle presented on “State of phpMyAdmin”.
phpMyAdmin is an DBA administration tool for MySQL available today in 57 different languages. This is found today in many distributions, LAMP stack products and also in cpanel. The product is found at http://phpmyadmin.net.
There are current two versions, the legacy 2.x version to support older php 3.x & 4.x, The current version 3.x is for PHP 5.2 or greater.
The current UI includes some new features including.
- calendar input for date fields
- meta data for mime types e.g images, which is great for showing the output as an image, otherwise blob data
- Relational designer with the able to show and create foreign …
Read this post today, http://mysqlha.blogspot.com/2010/02/dude-where-is-my-link.html. And I was amazed to find that on mysql.com it was so hard to download the community version of MySQL Server.
On the home page, could see links for
- Enterprise Products
- Resources
- Consulting
- Training
- News and Events
Couldn't find a link for Community Server Download or something similar, I've been working with MySQL for over 5 yrs, I know that the downloads and most of the useful stuff for open source devs like me is on http://dev.mysql.com. The Developer Zone hosts the following for us
- Community Server Downloads
- Documentation …
