ChocLinux writes "The MySQL geeks came out on top in this year's Golden Penguin Bowl at LinuxWorld Boston. Host Jeremy Allison hit a few raw nerves with the opposing Oracle team, introducing them as members of the Berkeley DB product line, 'which Oracle will soon kill.' ZDNet has posted some photos and commentary on the event."
