are you a committer or a member of a large OSS project?
do you participate in any other large open source project?
I’m trying to get a understanding of how all the different major oss projects are being cross pollinated by having people participating in different projects.
feel free to comment, or mail me directly at ian at holsman.net
Thanks!
I've been working on a presentation the last couple of days with
a few of my colleagues. The presentation is centered around
looking at MySQL Cluster from various perspectives within the
company to help determine some future initiatives. It was an
excellent exercise in discovering all the things that are great
about the product, but also in helping prioritize a few things we
need to work on.
One of the great things about working at MySQL is that there is
never a shortage of ideas or opinions on how to make things
better (even if we manage to "build a bike shed" now and
again...what software company doesn't?) . Fortunately, everyone
that works on the Cluster product in whatever capacity here at
MySQL, really wants the product to be a success. Their day to day
efforts show it and its always great to be a part of that.
One of things we really sharpened during this process, was the
definition of the product itself. I think …
The modular concept of MySQL that separates the storage engines
from the SQL parser and optimizer has recently caused a number of
new, independently developed storage engines to surface. Here's
an incomplete selection of projects around this concept:
Last Friday, my mentor from the university came to visit Imtech
ICT. To explain him what the project is all about, I gave a short
presentation. The presentation contains some of the elements that
are also present in the presentation that I posted on the 29th of
May, but this new presentation focusses on the project instead of
the product.
I'm sorry English readers, this presentation is in Dutch.

I'm a big fan of the Working Daze comic, but I certainly hope that this comic is indicative of the majority of our users
Hello,
Thanks for stopping by.
I have decided to set up this blog in order to collect, catalog,
and contribute to, all things related to MySQL Cluster (and some
that are not) floating around the web.
Count on this blog to be a clearing house of sorts for any and
all information, how-to's, interviews, tips, news, feedback,
gossip and happenings as they relate to MySQL Cluster.
I guess I should add the disclaimer that I am the product manager
for MySQL Cluster...so I've got a bit of a personal interest in
the subject matter.
Check back for additional content in the coming days, weeks and
months.
Thanks for your interest,
Jimmy Guerrero
Sr. Product Manager MySQL
I’ve recently written about techniques for archiving, purging, and re-indexing huge database tables. These techniques exploit both data structure and usage patterns. In this article I’ll develop that theme further, and explain how to write more efficient non-backtracking maintenance jobs when the update and insertion patterns permit. Motivation In my current employment, I’ve been optimizing databases for size, speed, and consistency. As part of my regular monitoring, I checked our master MySQL server for deadlock information and found that a nightly cron job’s query had caused other queries to time out or deadlock, then became a deadlock victim itself and died, after loading the server for a long time.
I will be at FrOSCon 2006 on June 24, with a talk about
Pivot tables in MySQL 5.
I will arrive in Sankt Augustin on June 23, flying from Alghero Fertilia,
Italy to Frankfurt Hahn, Germany and then driving to the
conference site (travel plan).
The funny thing is that, when I booked my flight, I had no idea
that I was about to get in the middle of the Soccer World Cup.
Being no soccer fan, I realized this fact only when the media
circus started and I could not avoid being informed. Oh, well,
now I understand why it wasn't easy to find a hotel, even booking
two months in advance!

I’ve had my blog at Free Software Magazine added the Planet MySQL syndication site.
