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.

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
