The MySQL 5.0 Beta Challenge

To assist the MySQL 5.0 QA process, we are looking for as many users as possible to test 5.0 in general, and specifically key features such as stored procedures, views, triggers. See this article for details: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/evaluating-mysql-5.0.html

There will be cool MySQL goodies (T-shirts, mugs, books) for users who are the most helpful either directly with 5.0 testing, or indirectly by informing other users about 5.0. For instance:

  • The best or most (5.0 feature related) bug reports at bugs.mysql.com
  • The most helpful people on related MySQL forums at forums.mysql.com
  • The best MySQL 5.0 related articles (magazine or online) or dedicated web site.
  • The most informational/inspiring blog entries on MySQL 5.0 topics.

To tell us about published articles and web sites or your blog feed URL, use the community feedback form.

Rules:

  • All bugs reported, articles published, etc by July 30th (note: this date has no relation to the 5.0 release schedule.)
  • All winners announced at the sole discretion of MySQL AB. Arjen Lentz (Community Relations Manager) and Brian Aker (Director of Architecture) will be among the judges.

Your contribution is highly appreciated! Go for it & good luck.
