en Ivan Zoratti Dear MySQLers, the Cloud Is Good, But the Fog Is the Next Big Thing w:LinkedIn https://web.archive.org/web/20231011005635/https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/dear-mysqlers-cloud-good-fog-next-big-thing-ivan-zoratti 10 December 2017 The journey! That is the key point. MySQLers think about data as data stored into a database. When we think about the movement of data, we refer to it in terms of data extraction or data loading. The fact is, in IoT, data has value and it must be treated and considered when stored somewhere (data at rest) and when moving from one place to another (data in motion).
en Yury Niño DevOps Culture for MySQLers w:Medium https://web.archive.org/web/20231011005242/https://yurynino.medium.com/devops-culture-for-mysqlers-e17f9f710467 30 December 2018 This is a world where DevOps Engineers need to be much better at performance than they currently are.

Some activities for MySQLers include adding extra capacity, performance tuning queries and moving traffic away from unstable regions.

en John K. Waters MySQL Adds Scalability to Open Source Database ESJ https://web.archive.org/web/20091025081401/https://esj.com/articles/2009/04/23/mysql.aspx Los Angeles, Calif. 1105 Media Inc. 23 April 2009 Forking is the sign of a robust developer community, argued Kaj Arnö, vice president of community relations in Sun's MySQL group. Arnö has been with MySQL since 2001, making this his second acquisition. "I have a phrase that I used to use last year: 'I cannot speak for Sun, because I am a MySQLer,'" he said during a post-keynote interview. "Now I have to do the same thing: I cannot speak for Oracle, but I will say that there are some things that an acquisition will not change. One is that MySQL has a huge user base. Another is that, though the founders and CEO are no longer with us, we have inside Sun some of the best MySQL experts. But most importantly, what has not changed is the license for MySQL. If you don't trust us, trust the GPL."
en Paul DuBois looking for a patch or workaround for err / errstr bug perl.dbi.dev 28 June 2013 It's not clear to me that *Oracle* has ever had any particular view about DBD::mysql. It's not an Oracle product. It wasn't a Sun product before Oracle bought Sun. And as far as I am aware, it was not a MySQL AB product before Sun bought MySQL AB. It's true that MySQLers contributed some work to DBD::mysql, but as far as being any official company product ... I have never had that impression.
