		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m looking forward to traveling to San Jose for this year&#8217;s MySQL Conference. If there&#8217;s anything that can trump the drama of conf two years ago, where we observed how Sun would handle its new property, and then the drama of last year, where we observed how Oracle would handle the pending acquisition, it&#8217;s going [...]]]></description>

She had pointed out that today was Ada Lovelace Day, a day devoted to highlight and thank the many women in the Information Technology industry for their contributions. She suggested that if I wanted to blog about it she would find that appropriate, given what we&#8217;ve achieved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am writing because Sheeri sent me a note about a blog post written by Brian Aker, where Brian concludes, quite correctly, that (in Sheeri&#8217;s words not Brian&#8217;s) MySQL is now just a branch (the official branch, but a branch nonetheless, and a bunch of trademark (logo) and copyright (docs) ownerships). This is exactly true. [...]]]></description>

And in under a month from the signing, Oracle has begun sending us amazing quality leads! The first was a doozie, an email made it&#8217;s way to us with the subject [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My old friend and collaborator Theo Schlossnagle at OmniTI posted his slides from his Scalable Internet Architectures talk at VelocityConf 2009. The slides are brilliant even without seeing Theo talk and I highly recommend the time it takes to flip through them, for anyone who is interested in systems performance.
