David Axmark Resigns From Sun

Posted by samzenpus on from the take-this-job-and-shove-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "From Kay Arno's blog we see that David Axmark, MySQL's Co-Founder, has resigned. This comes on top of the maybe, maybe not, resignation of Monty. We saw earlier this year that Brian Aker, the Director of Architecture, has forked the server to create a web-focused database from MySQL called Drizzle. The MySQL server has been 'RC' now for a year with hundreds of bugs still listed as being active in the 5.1 version. What is going on with MySQL?"

    That won't actually happen as they should be bought up very soon. The only question is by who? Oracle, HP, IBM or one of the hardware giants they rebrand and resell?

    The way things have been going the last few weeks, my bet is on the United States Treasury Department.

    MySQL sucks

    And your post, like my response, is pointless.

    So, he gets the ax because somebody missed the mark.

    Never fear, this is a minor setback for him. I hear he's already writing a book about what he will do in the next act of his career.
