OS Database Magazine will be visiting the No:SQL{East} Conference which runs October 28th – 30th. Your editor will be on hand Wednesday night and Thursday taking in some talks and interviewing people for the podcast. If you are in the Southeast come join the fun in Atlanta at Georgia Tech. Send me an email if you want to catch up.
July brought the first issue of Open Source Database Magazine and it was a resounding success. Our download count has skyrocketed. I was blown away when I checked my stats after the first two days of release and there were almost three times as many downloads as I had ever had of any of the previous issues of MySQL Magazine. Thanks to those who participated by contributing articles; I couldn’t have done it without you. The feedback I have received is that the change in direction has been embraced by the open source database community.
I published the first OSDB podcast a few days after the release of the magazine. Even though it was my first attempt at podcasting I thought it went well. There are still some technical rough edges I am working on, but the discussion with Brian Aker was just incredible. If you haven’t heard it yet, you are missing a treat. The next podcast which will be released around mid-November will feature Josh Berkus of Postgres fame.
