MySQL Conf08 - Marten Mickos tells all
At the end of the first day of the MySQL conference and expo I caught up with Marten Mickos former MySQL CEO and current Sun Database SVP. Marten was in high spirits and eloquent as always.
My interview with Marten (10:29) Listen (Mp3) Listen (ogg)
Marten worked the floor like the consummate host he is.
Some of the topics we tackle:
- How he felt the first day of the conference went.
- How MySQL employees took the news that they were being acquired and the range of emotions it engendered.
- The "on-boarding" process at Sun and how Sun Visors have been the key.
- What it means to go from being an employee of a 400 person company to being the employee of a 32,000 person company.
- What Marten's priorities have been in these first few weeks.
- The awards that were given out.
Pau for now....
