  Open Source Community Awards, A Personal Perspective 

  I asked Giuseppe Maxia, formerly MySQL Community Team Lead and now Director of QA at Tungsten, to tell us more about his personal experience with community awards.

  Giuseppe, you have been awarded twice as community contributor, in 2006 and in 2011. What’s the difference and what did you learn from 2006? (More …)

  The Open Source Road Ahead – About Put an End to Vendor Lock-in 

  Few days after my blog post about OSI’s possible future,  OSI wrote a second statement on the CPTN transaction, somehow reaffirming my concerns about a maybe too narrowed view on software patents. Now that even Groaklaw gave up with software patents  - rightly in my opinion – leaving it to IT giants and patent-trolls, will OSI fight software patents as a whole?

  While waiting to understand how OSI will behave in this respect, we might move on other topics, like how OSI could fulfill its mission.

    First time I’ve seen this. How is it compared to mysql-proxy ?

    Giuseppe Maxia 4:30 pm on April 14, 2011 Permalink

    Tungsten Replicator is a full replacement for MySQL replication, while MySQL Proxy is only a man-in-between that can filter operations between a client and a server.
    Tungsten Replicator can do more than simple replication. It allows multiple masters, replication from many masters to the same slave (a.k.a. multi source or fan-in), seamless failover, and parallel replication. More info in the webinar.
