Reports from the MySQL Users Conference

Posted by Zonk on from the dolphin-party dept.

Eh-Wire writes "OnLamp is reporting on the MySQL Users Conference that is currently underway. Among the highlights are the announcement that the code for MySQL 5.0 is now complete. Axmark and Widenius suggest that squashing bugs is the key behind the success of MySQL. Michael Tiemann from Red Hat and the OSI delivered a keynote on "Defining Open Source". He suggests that Microsoft's "shared source license" has been a complete failure at the design level."

    Not be be a whiny grammer troll, but it's "lose".
    You wrote "loose" twice, so I assume it wasn't a casual mistake.
    You also wrote an otherwise complete an accurate paragraph, so I assume the correction is not something you'll dismiss...

    And it wasn't a grammar mistake, my dearest tosspot, it was a spelling mistake, aka, a TYPO.

      Yeah, forgive me for trying to correct a guys usage of a word.
      Maybe I should have screamed, bitched, whined and pouted like you? Perhaps it's more effective?
