		<description><![CDATA[In this article I am responding to many parts of Monty&#8217;s post at http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2009/12/help-keep-internet-free.html which are just plain not true, or are exaggerations. I will give my own answers to the self-interview questions Monty provides, as I feel he is using his name and popularity to spreading fear that is not warranted. Q: Why don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The bottom line: As both a community member of MySQL, and a service provider, I am not worried about Oracle buying Sun and acquiring MySQL in the process. There is no validity to the argument that Oracle will slow down or stop MySQL development &#8212; it is not possible, with various forks already in heavy [...]]]></description>

The very next day, we became one of the first OPN Specialized Platinum level partners. Maybe the very first!

The content of the presentations and direction where Oracle is going to provided some interesting food for thoughts on Oracle&#8217;s strategy and how it&#8217;s going to make money with all those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ValleyWag reports that MySQL&#8217;s Monty Widenius is no longer &#8220;MySQL&#8217;s&#8221;. Some folks have known that Monty has not been happy in his current position; this leads me to believe the rumor is true (though of course an official announcement is the only confirmation).
