I am MySQL Community Manager for EMEA & APAC. I joined the MySQL Community Team in May 2016. I have been an OpenSource and MySQL consultant for more than 15 years. My favorite topics are High Availability and Performance.

I’m a Fonero

and even more a free fonero...

I finally found time to hack my La Fonera (www.fon.com), of course I don't want/plan to replace the firmware of my La Fonera, it would be an injustice to install a relgular OpenWRT firmware on it, I had to do it because I'd modify the dns search of the lan and the dns provided by the dhcp from this small box.

External Drive’s Name

Hello,

I received my external usb/firewire (400/800) drive, it's quiet nice not very thin but seems robust enough with some rubber protection around it and this is a good point as it's my daily work external drive !

When I plugged it in the first time I got his :

My colleague Toi received also the same disk and I saw the same icon when I plugged it in.

This is the future !

and the future is Open Source !!

Today I installed eyeOS for the first time, just because I was curious about this project and my first impression (that's still there now) is : THIS IS AMAZING and this is the future !

Of course some improvements should be done on the applications parts, writing some more in fact like an ssh client (I know I'm a geek), a jabber client, an irc client... but the current work is already very nice !

And all this into a tgz of 746K !

There is already a nice community around this project it seems : http://www.eyeos.org/community

I hope to find some time to test writing some applications for this web based os.

SambaXP Episode 7

I followed during this last days many talks (10), mainly in Developer Track. I really enjoyed the talks of Gerald Carter (Jerry) on Winbind's New and Improved IDMap * Nssinfo Interface. The openchange demo was really impressive and received many applauses from the audience.

Some other talks were not so nice, some speakers should improve their speeching skill, btw I know that's not easy.

In conclusion, I was very happy to attend to this Zamba :-P conference where I've learn a lot and where I met some members of the Samba Team.

Samba 3.0.25 will be a very important release I guess.

SambaXP Episode 6.beta1

Some pictures of the social event where we boozed with the some members of the Samba Team :

As you can see those guys are really nerds, they even code during the social event at the restaurant :-P
