Here is my presentation slides from todays session.

"The Power of MySQL"

I think it was pretty informative presentation about the basics of MySQL. I also feel that MySQL is a widely used platform in development but not in production. This is something that I expected from ColdFusion community when I think about MS SQL Server usage. But I think this will change by the time especially because of the power of the MySQL server and the open source community projects which mostly prefer MySQL as main database platform.

Luckily we have a native support in ColdFusion 8 and this is something that would be a good reason completing ease of MySQL usage especially when I remember the dilemma on embedded drivers in ColdFusion and old JDBC driver installation requirements etc.

I am also excited about the new MySQL storage engine Falcon. I feel that this will be something important in the new future for the database world preferences.

Please feel free to share your comments and ask any question that you may have.

Open BlueDragon Bug Tracker and CVS Repository are available now.

I also really wonder why CVS is selected when SVN is available. :) Unfortunately need to install a CVS client now as an extra shell tool.

As Luis Majano reported on his blog, ColdBox runs on Open BludeDragon without any issue.

I will try to test some of our applications which are based on ColdBox on Open BlueDragon.

Let us see the performance. :)

"Fedora 9 has been released.

Release notes can be found here. Some of the more interesting new features include a new package management system, which can be used as an alternative to pup and pirut, known as PackageKit. This release also includes GNOME 2.22 and/or KDE 4.0.3, and Firefox 3 beta 5. Overall, there are a lot of improvements worth looking at, and the Bittorrent seeds are already feeding the release fairly effectively."
