MySQL Founder Monty leaves Sun - InternetNews:The Blog - Sean Michael Kerner
After I saw some of the notes that were being released publicly by the MySQL guys about how the project is being managed at Sun, this seemed like writing on the wall.
Maybe Google should do a takeover of the codebase, fork the server and hire all the devs. They do after all use MySQL in adwords, which is where all their money comes from. Also, if you talk to anyone who uses the adwords interface, it’s slow as a dog - they really need to invest in performance there.
