 Why this talk
MySQL and Sun needs to become more transparent in whatthey are doingIt's easier to discuss and act when you have facts and don'thave to rely on rumors or interpretationsWhen users know the limitations they can go around themWhen developers know about the problem they can help uswith coming up with better solutions and even help us fix theproblemsIt's easier to trust someone if they acknowledge a problemand it's even better when they have a solution for itOpen source/free software is based on transparency andtrust
