The MySQL Librarian Initiative

,----[ Quote ]
| The MySQL Librarian initiative is very young, at the moment there are about 
| 200 items, 130 of them are presentations, 30 videos plus pictures and books. 
| Six months from now I’ll ping Giuseppe to know how it goes.

Charity, open source, and happiness

,----[ Quote ]
| A few months back Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise 
| Institute, delivered an address (audio here) at my alma mater, Brigham Young 
| University, titled "Why Giving Matters." While focused on charitable giving 
| and its multiplicative value on a nation's gross domestic product (GDP), it 
| also tells us a lot about why developers contribute to open-source projects.

What Oracle gets with MySQL

,----[ Quote ]
| MySQL, in other words, is a great example of how Oracle can make open source

Interview: Karen Tegan Padir, MySQL VP, On This Week's MySQL Conference

,----[ Quote ]
| OStatic: What do you think are the biggest barriers to adoption of open
| source in business? Lack of support? Lack of evangelism and marketing? Lack
| of training?
|
| I don't think it's any of those things, I just think it's just a matter of
| time. I worked at Red Hat for several years. When I worked there,
| conventional wisdom said that Linux was a toy, that it wasn't reliable or
| ready for mission-critical deployment. People sure aren't saying that
| anymore!
