JFYI, I recently updated several packages in my home:LenzGr and the devel:tools:scm repositories of the openSUSE Build Service:

Enjoy! And Kudos to the folks that develop and maintain the build service, this is a great service to the Community.

OSCON, the Open Source Convention organized by O'Reilly is coming up next week (July 23rd-27th, Portland, OR).

MySQL AB will be present in the exhibition area and we will also be giving some talks:

There are some other talks related to MySQL, that might be of interest for you:

PlanetMySQL update: Post titles in the RSS feed include the author names now

Just a quick heads-up - I just commited a change to the Planet MySQL code that slightly modifies how the RSS feed is being created: now the author name is put in front of each posting's title, similar to how many other feed aggregators mark the different articles. I hope you find this change useful, let me know if you experience any problems or have any other suggestions for improvements. Thanks!

Fighting spam: reCAPTCHA installed on the MySQL Forge Wiki

Today, I again spent about an hour to revert changes made by spambots on various MySQL Forge Wiki pages. As I was really sick of this, I now installed a new plugin: reCAPTCHA - this will hopefully raise the bar for spambots to create new user accounts automatically for spamming the Wiki. If you are a registered user already, you will probably not notice the change - by default, CAPTCHAs are only displayed on the following events:
  • New user registration
  • Anonymous edits that contain new external links
  • Brute-force password cracking
Let's hope it helps! Please let me know if you still experience spam problems on the Wiki.
