The People of MySQL
I consider personnel moves to be material to their employers, and at such times I feel obligated to comment - whether I like it or not. Such is the case with the recent defections from Sun of Mårten Mickos most recently, and Monty Widenius a week or so distant.
There is no supportable conclusion regarding the departures of Mårten and Monty but that they are significantly damaging. Not strictly with respect to the obvious PR implications - most of the coverage I’ve seen to date of the news could be considered Sun negative - but within the community. Already I’m seeing questions raised, whether they’re legitimate or no, ranging from Sun’s stewardship of the project to the future of MySQL itself.
The behaviors here are, it must be said, far from uncommon.
