Since the inception of Symas I've been serving as its Chief Technology Officer. Over the last year or so I've been watching Howard Chu's work and interactions with the LDAP community, and it's become evident that he has been carrying out more and more of the responsibilities traditionally carried out by a Chief Technology Officer.

17 April 08 - 06:32MySQL Conference BOF

Jordan, Howard and I (the Symas contingent) were at the O'Reilly/MySQL conference for a Birds of a Feather on an OpenLDAP back-end we've been doing for MySQL. This is the first blog entry raving about it.

15 April 08 - 03:33Jonathan's on MySQL Conference Day

We at Symas read this blog entry by Jonathan Schwartz (CEO of Sun) with some pleasure. We can't really talk about why, but it's reassuring that Jonathan gets this open source collaboration thing so clearly. (more)

12 April 08 - 05:15"The Right Thing?" ... a late April Fool's Post(?)

It looks (to me) like James McGovern took a while to write his April 1st posting to his blog. I take my hint from the graphics. And I chuckled along with the joke. (more)

01 April 08 - 01:46Jumping on the Java Bandwagon

We've written a lot about Java on this blog, and its inherent inefficiencies. Still, despite its problems, it's definitely growing in popularity, while the number of good C programmers continues to decline. As such, it seems inevitable that the OpenLDAP Project will have to develop a Java implementation of slapd sooner or later. So today we've unveiled an experimental build of slapd written in Java from the Symas skunkworks. Initial results are encouraging; its performance appears to be on par with the C implementation. More details on the design approach will be presented at the upcoming OpenLDAP Developers' Day conference.

25 04 08 03:08Thoughts on Openness

Slashdot ran this entry pointing to an article on Ted Ts'o's blog about an aspect of Sun's approach to "Open Source". The folks at Symas just thought you'd want to think about it. (more)
