Some time ago, I announced the MySQL UDF Repository. In short, the MySQL UDF Repository tries to be a one stop place to obtain high quality LGPL licensed libraries containing MySQL UDFs, including documentation and binaries. Since the announcement, our Google Group has grown to a 22 members (including a number of MySQL employees and prominent community members), and we've gained a few interesting new UDF libraries:
It makes me sad that not more was done to promote this, and I
sure didn't do enough either. Well, I did email the Belgian user
group members.

So this is a real story about my best bud airline (large one, you
guess who). We have been together since the 80's when I picked an
airline that partnered with SAS to make sure we had links back to
the mother ship Sweden. It's been a ton of miles and I still have
that proud email they sent when I reach my 1,000,000 mile bar
(note to self, push the MySQL fulfillment project forward
quickly).
Well, time has passed on and my friend is showing a lot of aging,
and much is not pretty...
Today, in fact right now, Im onboard a flight from Washington DC
to Germany for our developer conference.
It all starts with a great idea. They have added a 'red carpet'
boarding lane for frequent fliers like me. So, if you're a 1k or
Global services or ponied up Euros or upgrades for Bus or First
class, you can stroll into the separate boarding lane at any time
with a nice red carpet and get that envy look from fellow coach …
There is a lot of exciting stuff happening inside of MySQL AB. But due to the distributed nature of our company it's hardly possible to get a good overview about what the various teams of our development department are currently working on and what they have achieved since the last time we met.
So one cool new idea for our currently ongoing MySQL Developer Meeting in Heidelberg was to let developers show off their work to each other. They were encouraged to prepare demos, either in the form of slide shows or by running live demonstrations from their laptops. Last Thursday and Saturday we allocated time for these team exhibitions and the exhibitors set up tables in the meeting rooms for others to sit next to them, see the new and cool stuff and chat about it. The non-exhibiting attendees received a sheet of paper where they could collect signatures for each demo point they visited, the one that managed to see the most demos was eligible for …

If you are at a party, barbecue, tail-gate or other social event the topic of middleware or middle-tier may come up. This article will teach you enough to join in or maybe more importantly to walk away.
There are a lot of different languages used to build web applications. The key point to remember is that all of them end up generating HTML code that is returned to a browser.
I?ve spent the last year and a half noticing the growth and popularity of open source solutions. Using open source to build multi-tiered web based solutions can greatly add to a company?s competitiveness and bottom line by greatly reducing costs and reduce the complexity of managing vendor relationships. I looked at a lot of open source products and companies and the one that stood out to
Skoll is a Community-Based Testing project out of the University
of Maryland. Their first testing framework comes for MySQL. Watch
Sandro Fouché, graduate researcher on this project, take you
through what Skoll is, how it’s beneficial, and how you can use
it with an actual demo. The Skoll testing client for MySQL can be
downloaded here:

Since I know a lot of MySQLers use Perl, I wanted to pass this along. Today was the first I’d heard of this survey, so I’m thinking that there are a lot of other folks who use Perl occasionally as I do (or even regularly) that are in the dark. Apparently it began in late July, and announced at OSCON 2007, so I apologize if you’ve heard about it over and over.
Take the survey now, as you only have until September 30th to do so!
