ramblings on PHP, SQL, the web, politics, ultimate frisbee and what else is on in my life
[1] « 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 » [71]Dear Marten,
So now that you have posted some clarifications on what is going on exactly, it seems like there is less of a problem as original thought. However I must say that the the replies you posted on Jeremy's blog (and later mine as well), you let me to believe that things are quite bad indeed. Only now that I see your two posts on /, I can relax a bit again. Matthew has written a very good summary of the situation with some historical background.

Maybe Sun can teach MySQL a lesson about open source?
Once again Jeremy weights in on the oddity called "MySQL Enterprise Edition". This time around it seems that Sun/MySQL is moving towards making their Enterprise Edition more proprietary by including features that will never be available in the Community Edition. Not sure, but I guess they are also not providing the source to the general public (I do not remember all the details of the continued mumbo-jumbo saga surrounding this product, but maybe they already pulled the source from the public version a while ago - please correct me here). I do assume that paying customers will still get the source, though obviously not under an open source license.

emPHPower at OSCON 08?
I have not submitted anything for OSCON 08 and even if so, its not exactly cheap to get there. However someone recently reminded me that OSCON would be the perfect place to get a lot of useful feedback on the emPHPower vision. So I hope that someone can help me get emPHPower on the agenda at OSCON. I guess there will be opportunities for birds of feather sessions. Now the key thing is to have someone there to spearhead the thing. I cannot afford to go unless some sponsor steps up and fly's me down there and points towards a bridge to sleep under and manages to squeeze me by the guards at the door. So maybe someone else is interested in bringing up this topic at OSCON to collect some feedback, ideas and comments. Any takers?

What don't you like about PDO?
I want to start to collect a little RFC on what needs to be changed in PDOv1 (yes, not much to se there right now) to make it better. So I am not talking about PDOv2 here. What can be done to make the current PDO more useful to people? What are the key features missing, issues bugging you? Just put up a comment here or shoot me a mail. Or if you have a PHP CVS account, just feel free to login on the wiki and edit.

Chatting with Rasmus (part two and three)
As promised here are the two other logs from the recent chat I witnessed. The first log focuses on setting the right MaxClient config option in Apache, which will hopefully clarify things for Evert. The second discusses properly setting HTTP headers (and dyslexic web servers). Also note the two links I mentioned in the second log about performance optimizations. Furthermore if you have not checked it out yet, have a look at the YSlow! extension (to the Firebug extension). Again I left the logs in their raw original way. Hope they are useful for you all.
