And Ubuntu, now supported by MySQL. There’s a relationship there. Mark Shuttleworth gave a great keynote, talked about the relationship with upstreams, the new MySQL relationship they have, and how he was really excited to be here. Thawte I believe, ran on MySQL :-)

All that aside, I guess I can mention in public what I’ve been up to for a while… Well, the press release mentioned it. Whatever. So, now all we have to do is plod on for June 1st, and thats a good one month more for me to work hard at this…
