Sorry for the short outage, due to a small coding glitch the script that updates the planet feeds got stuck and it took us a bit to find the problem... But thanks to Jay we now spotted the bug and it was fixed quickly!

I just learned from my colleagues in our Dublin office that
Mårten Mickos, CEO of MySQL AB will be visiting them this coming
weekend. They would like to take this opportunity to arrange a
MySQL User Group Meeting, which will take place on Saturday, 27th
of January, 18:00 o'clock in their offices:

This is your chance to meet and talk with Mårten and other

a tech talk about MySQL (details will follow). So if you are
located somewhere around Dublin, make sure to attend this event!

I've already sent out the invitation and announcements to various channels, but let me repeat it once more: the 5th Hamburg MySQL User Group Meetup is coming up on Monday, 5th of Februrary. So far, 15 people have already RSVPed, so it's going to be a fun evening again. If you have not done so yet, please register via meetup.com or Xing soon! I will give a 15 minute lightning talk about "What's new at MySQL AB", but we're still looking for another MySQL-related talk. If you want to share your experiences with MySQL or talk about a certain application or tool that has a relation to MySQL, please let me know! As usual, we'll meet a 19:00 at the Chinese Restaurant "Ni Hao", …

Some days ago I had the pleasure to interview Andrey Hristov, who is a developer at MySQL AB. He joined the team after working on a new feature for the MySQL Server as part of his master's thesis. You can read the full interview on the MySQL Developer Zone. Enjoy!

Some time ago, our GUI tools development team started a contest to shake out the bugs in the MySQL GUI applications, especially the MySQL Administrator and the MySQL Migration Toolkit.
The contest ran for about 3 months and resulted in more than 170
bug reports, of which the team fixed all the significant ones
(over 120) by now. This is quite impressive, especially
considering the relatively small size of the GUI development
team. I am very happy to see that the quality of these tools has
been improved, they are quite useful, especially for users not
keen on using the command line.
The new MySQL Administrator 1.2.8 and MySQL Migration Toolkit 1.1.8 have now been declared production …

I attended the T-Dose open source event yesterday in Eindhoven
(The Netherlands) and it must be said: the TU/e (Technical
University of Eindhoven) looks pretty nice indeed! Entering the
T-Dose I was a bit overwhelmed by the venue. However, on
Saturday, the crowed was thin. Of course, it was the first time
and I hope it will be as big as FOSDEM in Brussels some
day.
My talk was scheduled for 15:00 so I had a bit time to mix with
the people. To be honest, I'm still not used to this.. There was
a booth of UPservers which is selling certified hardware for
MySQL and MySQL Cluster. It's interesting to actually have
face-to-face contact with people actually having a clue about
hardware.
Gnome and KDE had a booth there as well. Yes, it has evolved a
bit again. However, I left the Linux workstation for MacOS X:
just because I got lazy I guess.
