Thanks to Sheeri for paying attention, and thanks to Dups for dealing with it. Still, it feels like this was just tossed this back to organizers to fix. Maybe Community Relations could just use the name PlanetMySQL to describe their activities.

Mr. Ortiz was clear on the Meetup side. Sun/MySQL has not been clear, that has confused and bothered some (like me), but here is some info I have finally gotten from them: There will be an announcement made early next week, but as a heads-up this is more of an issue with meetups.com not MySQL/Sun or Oracle. We have been working with another vendor around meetups and you will see something early next week that I believe will be a good thing.

He has a position for a program that no longer exists? The writing is on the wall, and I hope that the Sun execs have beautifully colored parachutes!
