*smile*...well, seemed like a good subject line.
Anyway - just taking a break between tasks today and caught up with the
mornings email - thought I would pass along a couple of items.
1) Open Database Association - I mentioned this on the dba users mailing
list the other day. This morning I received the first email posted to
the associations mailing list (Subject: ODBA mission)
"Mission of the Open Database Alliance
* Promote and support the business interaction of its member
organizations.
* Promote member partnering and revenue sharing that provide customers a
single point of contact for all related products and services.
* Support the development and use of Open Source databases, and their
surrounding products and services"
2) I've been following along with the mail thread on the marketing list
- Microsoft's COO about Openoffice
Now it seems to me that the ideas coming out in that mail thread should
be resonating with the folks on this list..
3) Finally - if none of that gets you thinking then this blog by Matt
Asay
- "When freedom isn't free (software)"
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10293886-16.html
So my question - What is this group about again?
Drew
ps - If anyone ever tells you that buying a few of rental properties is
a good idea...run away, run very far away...break's over - back to the
bathroom remodeling.
I think is a great thing to think about further development of the
database module in OOo and I agree that we need better integration with
the rest of the suite. I would love to see the results from the DBA survey
and start taking a closer look at what we can do to improve their status.
