We did a community townhall video session earlier this week with Jonathan Schwartz, Rich Green and myself. You can view it online at http://ustream.tv/sun and at YouTube. This is a pretty high-level discussion, but we responded to some questions that came in from the live chat about platforms, languages, patents, how Sun makes money from MySQL etc. I was also hoping to resolve once and for all what remains one of the hot developer issues: vi vs emacs. And in keeping with the MySQL tradition, we had a vodka toast at the end.
There were also more technical IRC sessions led by Kaj Arno and Ian Murdock this week and we'll be kicking off a worldtour mashup visiting many cities around the world and toasting to the MySQL community and wrapping up at the MySQL Conference & Expo April 14-17 in Santa Clara. You can find out more info at www.sun.com/mysqltour.
I'll be in Austin Sunday March 9 for an event that's sponsored by Sun at La Zona Rosa 9pm featuring live performances by The Smithereens and Seven Mary Three. I hope to see many MySQL users there!

Are you kidding?! I was in Austin for SXSW and for a book reading. Unfortunately, I was unable to check my Bloglines the whole time I was there. We have to stop being in the same place at the same time and not meeting! :)
