Thank you Chennai, for making OSI Days 2010 one of the most memorable events we have been a part of. The three days were a blend of pure open source awesomeness with loads of fun along with serious discussions focusing on technology and how it can be deployed to solve real business problems.

As the Organizing Partner of the conference, we were really concerned about the quality of the sessions at the conference. We had done the first part correct - bring together a stellar team of internationally renowned speakers (something we really had to sweat for!). The other part was to ensure that the participants are able to get the best out of the sessions. We hit some glitches, but all-in-all we did a decent job. Lessons have been learned, next edition will be grander and more accessible than this one.

Team OSSCube could not feel prouder than what we felt at the sight of the thorngs and hordes assembled right on time for registrations to start. So much so that in the initial enthusiasm to register and participate at the conference, all FOSS evangelists created huge queues and pools near the registration desk. The patience and the enthusiasm shared by the community was immense (We love you!). The conference started with a slight delay of the schedule as the team channelised the masses inside the halls and prepared the show for the inauguration.

The Minister-in-Charge, Department of IT (Govt of West Bengal) - Dr. Debesh Das, inaugrated the conference with a speech on the FOSS scenario in India and the relevance of open source to all its stakeholders and how new inroads are eing made by the community …

One of many things I really enjoyed working as a Sales Engineer back at MySQL Ab and Sun was that I was paid full time to encourage companies to use open source for their database layer. While Linux has already become the norm for the operating system on servers, and open source alternatives exist for app servers, it wasn't until a few years ago we really started seeing major traction of that in the database layer. And I was happy to be a small part of it!

I'm not really a salesy person. I mean I'm good at evangelizing something I believe in, addressing customer business needs and such. But you couldn't get me to lift a finger just to meet a quota, if I didn't really believe in the product. Which is what good sales guys can do. (Also known as "selling what you have in the truck".)

But thinking back at my time selling MySQL, I felt it was a great privilege to be paid a salary to travel to companies around Europe and spend a day …

At yesterdays Eigenbase Developer Meetup at SQLstream‘s offices in San Francisco we arrived at a new logo for LucidDB.  DynamoBI is thrilled to have supported and funded the design contest to arrive at our new mascot.  Over the coming months you’ll see the logo make it’s way out to the existing luciddb.org sites, wiki sites, etc.  I’m really happy to have a logo that matches the nature of our database - BAD ASS!
