MySQL just released a development version of MySQL Administrator. I tested it for the German LinuxMagazin last week. The article will be published in the forthcoming issue. In sum: try out the administrator, it’s definitely worth it, even if you’re a shell fetishist 😉

Distinguishing Patents and Copyright
Tony Stanco formulated a clear distinction between patents and copyright:
Copyright provides exclusive plenary rights to the owner. Patents provide the owner only with the right to exclude others. I think the distinction was grounded in the fact that it would be hard to conflict with someone else’s copyright in an original work (which usually stood alone), while complex, interrelated processes/machines could easily involve multiple and conflicting patents. As a result, patents are only negative rights and a person’s exploitation of a particular patent in subject to the non existence of conflicting patent(s).
It’s a nice conclusion in a long discussion.
ZZ/OSS Speaks at PHP and Web Standards Conference
The timetable of the PHP and Web Standards Conference (PaWS) in Manchester/UK is up. ZZ/OSS CEO Sandro Zic will give two talks:
One session deals with the ZZ/OSS Installer (see also the project’s Web site).

Life on Planet PHP
Maybe, there’s microbiotic life on Mars – but there’s definitely life on Planet PHP: An aggregator of Weblogs of well-known PHP developers, including the ZZ/OSS Weblog. No need to browse every single Weblog, just visit Planet-PHP and you know what the PHP aliens are doing in PHP universe 😉

Session at LOTS, the 'Swiss LinuxTag'
ZZ/OSS CEO Sandro Zic will present a session about Free Software in the Knowledge Society at the first LOTS event, a kind of Swiss LinuxTag.
Come to Bern at February 18th and hear about the following:
This talk will concentrate on an often neglected aspect that the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community introduced to society: A new organizational form of knowledge work in networks of excellence. Due to the fact that FOSS developers and projects act in distributed and heterogenous knowledge networks and furthermore collaborate in self-organised groups, they serve as the prototype elements of the emerging Knowledge Society.
Sandro has presented this talk at LinuxTag 2003 – but don’t expect it to be the same, because the presentation style is interactive, with Sandro discussing most of the aspects with the audience. Thus, the session itself is a show case of impulsive knowledge work inspired by the spirit of the FOSS community.
Generate Your PHP Extension
If you want to write an extension for PHP5, use PECL_Gen and read the documentation – it makes writting extensions much easier.
