All this started during a long drive from Charlottesville to Washington, back in November 2008, when I and Dups discussed the status of MySQL Community web presence. We agreed that we needed to enhance the usefulness of the tools for the community, and MySQL Planet was the first candidate for change. Externally, you have noticed very little until now. First, a login, then the voting system, the Buzz, the Italian, Japanese, and Russian aggregators, an improved treatment for group blogs, and finally the Tags and … |

In Montreal with Dups and Kaj, we were looking at a number of technical problems, and each one of you got something valuable from the meeting. One of Kaj's problems was a collection of Wordpress blogs infested by spam. Kaj has done something already but the situation was critical. Before applying Akismet to his comments, he needed to cleanup the majority of the spam in same easy way. |

You remember our slogan “Freedom to work anywhere“, meaning that MySQL doesn’t require you to relocate to Uppsala, Cupertino, München or anywhere, to join the company? And that you sometimes can work even far away from home? Sun continued this policy, more or less. Now, Dups is taking the policy to extremes.
Background: As a colleague and fellow mountaineer, I had heard of Dups wanting to do some mountaineering in the Andes well before hearing that he would want to join the Community Team. And hence, it was an easy thing for Dups to convince …

Notes of one week with MySQL community in US and France
Background
I wanted to attend the first edition of the Open SQL Camp in
Charlottesville, from November 14 to 16. For some mysterious
reason, a four days plane ticket to any place in the US costs EUR
2,500, but if I stay 8 days, it costs EUR 800. Considering that I
was in Frankfurt until November 8, the most sensible thing to do
was flying to the US as early as possible and meet as many
communities as I could. Among the ones I asked, Boston and New
York answered enthusiastically, and then, serendipitously, I
found an unexpected group in Baltimore, just before the last leg
to Charlottesville.
I sent all groups a list of ten topics to choose from:
* MySQL 5.1 features
* Using MySQL partitions in practice
* testing with MySQL Sandbox
* MySQL Community How To
* Recent community additions to MySQL code
* Creative cross-language …
