A unique photo

This is a photo (taken by Lukas Smith using Marcus Boerger‘s camera – Marcus himself is actually in the photo 😉 from the event Kaj and I reported on earlier. Spot all the faces from the many different open source RDBMS in there!

We had a great exchange of ideas. Naturally, there are differences were each of us needs to follow their own path. However, we also have many things in common and so there is scope to work together. In my opinion, this is a sign of the maturity of our products, companies and projects. Kaj’s message elaborates on this.

Personally, I had some very good chats with Josh Berkus and Gavin Sherry, sharing insights on how our respective RDBMS handle different functionality. Very educational (on both sides, I believe).
