Kaj Arnö: MySQL and Sun - how are you?

Kai Arnaud, the MySQL AB vice president of community user experience, is an amazing person.

He is from Finland, and is a Swede himself (and is similar to Linus Torvalds).
He loves Russia, but does not know Russian. This does not prevent him from keeping his blog in Russian - blogs.arno.fi/fandorin .
To do this, he writes the text in English, translates it into Russian via Google Translate, and if in a reverse translation from Russian into English something else can be understood, he publishes it. It turns out not bad.

In 2001, he sold MySQL AB half of his MySQL training company, and since then has worked at the corporation as vice president of consulting services, vice president of development, and as a result, since 2005, vice president of relations with user community.

Since Sun bought MySQL AB in February of this year, Kai travels around the world and helps developers, clients and communities of Sun and MySQL users to find a common language and learn to coexist in harmony.

The other day, Kai Arno comes to Moscow and will talk about what the new life of MySQL will be like and what are the prospects for its development with the support of Sun, a company that is known for its policy that favors the opensource community.

The meeting with Kai is organized by the Moscow MySQL user group with the support of the “ Business in the .RU style ” club.
The meeting will begin today, on Monday, December 1, at 19-00 in Moscow in the building of the Higher School of Economics on Myasnitskaya Street, 20, in the audience 124.
