Sun to buy my employer

PHP

Currently I'm at MySQL's staff meeting at Orlando. As you most likely read: Our CEO Marten Mickos announced that SUN is going to buy MySQL AB. I joined MySQL just in October and it's the first time for me to go to a company meeting, so I'm still in some kind of orientation phase, meeting many people where I only knew the name and now the company becomes way bigger. But I'm not only having the chance to meet people from MySQL now, but SUN also sent a bunch of guys over to Orlando, so Ulf, Andrey and me from MySQL's PHP team had James Gosling joining our table at lunch - but I won't go and do Java now, I'll stay with PHP :-)

The deal is closed - MySQL is part of Sun
In January Sun announced to buy MySQL, today the deal was closed and MySQL is now part of probably the worlds biggest Open Source company. For a full coverage visit mysql.com, Kaj's Blog or Sun's new product site. I'll continue with my tasks now.

Java und die Ursprünge
p>Der xenjo bemitleidet mich - das finde ich nett. Er erinnert uns auch daran, dass Java für alles mögliche gedacht wurde, wer mehr will: James Gosling, mit dem ich ja im Januar zu Mittag war, hat das letztens auf Video kommentiert. So genug der
