"We are proud to be able to offer a conference of this caliber," said Mårten Mickos, MySQL AB CEO. "It comes at an important juncture for both MySQL technology, as it quickly evolves as an enterprise-level database, and the open source movement, which is clearly having a significant and growing effect on the software industry. This conference will serve as a forum to share big ideas, business plans and technology expertise, and it is the first of what will be an important annual event for MySQL's users, customers, partners and friends."

New META Group Research on MySQL and the Database Market Presented

Technology industry analyst Charlie Garry from the META Group will present a session titled, "Open Source, MySQL and the Commodity Effect." Mr. Garry's presentation will outline new thinking and research on the growing acceptance of open source software to supplant costlier proprietary software. He will address the effect open source databases will have on the $12 billion enterprise database market and what traditional database vendors will do to provide the feature/function that drives the value side of the equation.

The META Group recently released two new reports featuring MySQL titled "MySQL: Open Source and the Commodity Effect" (http://www.metagroup.com/webhost/ONLINE/882172/d2033.htm) and "MySQL Open Source Essentials" (http://www.metagroup.com/webhost/ONLINE/643500/d2006.htm).

MySQL AB CEO Mårten Mickos will provide an in-depth overview of MySQL's unique dual-licensing business model, which has recently been highlighted in articles in The Wall Street Journal and Fortune magazine.
