There is an obvious conlcift with competing for business andworking together on improving the MySQL software. It’s fairlynew for the MySQL community to have this situation. I viewthis event as a learning experience. Personally I don’t thinkit’s possible to close anyone out from conferences. Just lookat Intel/AMD, AMD always had an alternative conference thehotel next to the Intel Developer’s conference.Personally I’ve always thrived in a competitive situation. It usuallyincreases the value of the community since more innovation isrequired to stay ahead of your competitor and this increases thevalue of the MySQL community and enables us to increase theimpact of MySQL in the IT world. The great thing about open sourceis that you will have to share your results with the community soeven though you’re competing for business there will always becooperation on the development of the source code.My personal trait on behaving as a good community member inthis situation is to focus on displaying your own positivecharacteristics and showing what you’ve done to innovate.Comparisons to other happens through benchmarks of varioussorts, both company-specific and open source benchmarks andstandard benchmarks.Lastly I would like to give special credit to the work done byMark Callaghan and his team at Google. I’ve had theopportunity to play around with their patches and really foundthem to be easy to understand and really stable. So if I hadan award to give out on the MySQL Community Contributionof the year I’d certainly give it to them. Disclaimer: I don’t havesuch an award to give out So finally much looking forward to meeting at the MySQL UsersConference week and seeing what everyone is up to andsharing our ideas.

Ryan:MacOS X can be conadfigadured to auth users using the “Directory Access” utiladity (it’s pretty slick, and supadports the RFC way, the Apple way, and the ActiveDirectory way), and setadting up Samba to use OpenLDAP as a SAM backadend for NT doiman authenadtiadcaadtion was pretty simadple – just a matadter of using their schemas inteladliadgently and keepading your users under a paradticaduadlar DN. We didn’t bother with the OS 9 boxen because they were being phased out anways. Linux requires libnss-ldap, of course (which is pretty well-documented, IMO). One thing that ended up bitading us in the ass was putting the “ldap” entry in nsswitch.conf first on the list — it ends up makading INIT go out-to-lunch in a bizadzare way, which forced us to boot the PDC (not someadthing that can be offline for a few days while you debug it) off of a LiveCD and run the seradvices when we restarted it for a new keradnel until someadone else found the same probadlem and lazyadweb caught up with thea0issue.Most useadful was the offiadcial Samba3 HOWTO, and the . Of course, had I to do it over again, I’d just have setup OpenLDAP as a fake OS X server, so as my boss slowly conadverted the office to woradshipading at , he could’ve used the variadety OS X admin tools he touted. If you don’t have to migrate an existading doiman, that’s a bonusa0too.iain:One hopes, but it still reminds me of HR peoadple comading to Netscape and assumading that the thing that made the proadgramadmers at Netscape willadingly put in 80a0hour weeks while on salary was the free pizza and Mt. Dew and winking-and-nodding at goofading off (as opposed to, e.g., everyadone being comadpeadtent at their job and recadogadnizading that the work actuadally meant someadthing in the fuzzy-kitty, big-picture sense), so if only every comadpany proadvided free pizza and Mt. Dew and let employadees occaadsionadally goof off, everyadone would want to put in 80a0hour weeks while on salary.Really I’m just pissed at spamadmers, paradticaduadlarly those extremadists who call it “maradketading” and are busily proadmotading the idea of altoadgether replacading conadtent with advertising.

Very helpful, didn’t want to cnonitue using my own admin account in our sh backup script anymore, but for anyone else interested, you should also give a user the SHOW DATABASES perm so the user can do all at once.

Sun’s acquirement by Oracle doesn’t mean that MySQL will die. This is FUD spaerd either by stupid people, either by people against the merge. Even if Oracle itself won’t develop MySQL anymore (although this is not sure), other people / companies could.I really don’t understand the purpose of this post.

If you set the port for OpenDS to 389, it means that you must run OpenDS as root. Or your regular user must have the plegirevis to open ports under 1024, which requires afaik specific configuration on Linux. May be you could explain how you do configure the regular user ?RegardsLudo
