We’re compiling them all and will post a blog post about it. Unfortunately some people are taking the long road home around the volcano, and can’t be reached right now, so it might be slow.

Any idea where we can get a copy of the presentation by Yasufumi that you talked about, or any of the presentations by the various Percona people?

Probably somewhat. All of my opinions are subject to change.

We have Hive for DW and I don’t have much time beyond working on OLTP — but I enjoy reading about the progress of InfiniDB.

@Baron – would you change your opinion of surprises if the surprises were smaller and less frequent because the releases were more regular and more frequent?

I believe I was a pretty vocal critic of the marketing around Falcon, and maybe Robin by extension. I think what InfiniDB is doing now — just saying what’s in the roadmap — is very nice.

I’m not sure if I owe any apologies for thoughtless name-dropping, or if the only one I’ve offended was myself. If I offended anyone else, I’m sorry.

I disagree with Mark. I generally don’t like surprises, even good ones. Although, back to the point of this blog post, I am happy about the newest 5.5 work.
