[RSVP so we can give them an accurate table count]

Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Linux User Group

***

The next regular monthly meeting of DLSLUG will be held:

   Thursday, January 7th, 6-8PM
at:  Salt Hill Pub - Lebanon
  All are welcome.

 Agenda

6:00  Eat, Drink, and be Merry!

   As is our traditional way, the January 8th meeting
   of the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Linux User Group will be at
   the Salt Hill Pub in Lebanon.  Though the topic of
   conversation will inevitably flow to some geeky topic or
   other, all are welcome, including significant others.

   We'll have a table reserved at Salt Hill in Lebanon for
   dinner at 6PM on the 7th.

   There is copious free parking and easy Interstate access.
   Plus, the #1 request for our meetings has been beer, and
   Salt Hill has plenty, albeit not "free, as in beer". And
   the iced tea is plenty good too, so our younger and drier
   friends will find plenty of good food and drink as well.

   RSVP so we can get a table(s) of sufficient size.

So Monty want the EU to *force* Oracle to compete against MySQL?

Didn't he sell-out already?

Re: The MySQL petition

2010-01-05 Thread Jeffry Smith
What strikes me is his apparent non-belief in Open Source.  Basically,
he's arguing that you need to force the disgorgement to protect the
current proprietary MySQL clients, and they're needed for continuing
development, because the Open Source community hasn't/won't stood up
to support MySQL.  IAW, without proprietary development, the GPL
version would die.

Could it be the community hasn't stood up because you have to assign
copyright to MySQL/Sun/Oracle, and people don't like giving their work
to a company to run their business without compensation.

Maybe if the dropped the proprietary version, and dropped the
copyright assignment, they'd find a lot of people willing to help.
