08/07/2007, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker:
Brian Aker, Directory of Technology, MySQL.

Every application developer knows that while Linux presents great opportunity, it also presents unique challenges, including the need to develop and maintain multiple packages. With a plethora of Linux packages available for download, nothing represents the challenges better than MySQL. Starting with MySQL 5.1, MySQL will strive for LSB compliance. Just what does this mean for application developers and users? How can application developers lean from MySQL's experience? Achieving LSB certification provides a level of assurance that MySQL will run across multiple LSB compliant distributions and will reduce the number of packages built MySQL. This reduction in packages will simplify choice for users, and improve time to market for new MySQL releases. Come learn from Brian Aker why MySQL chose to target the LSB and how they got there.
