Yesterday, during a session at a User Group Leader's conference, I suggested to the MySQL Community Team (Keith Larson and Dave Stokes) that it would be nice to see all the events that Oracle does that are MySQL-related, because everyone else is posting their MySQL events to Planet MySQL and Oracle was talking about events I had never heard of. I noted that http://events.oracle.com/search/search?group=Events&keyword=mysql has an RSS feed.
Well, Keith and Dave also thought that was a good idea, so they added the feed. Looks like Oracle's feed isn't so great, though, and they're working on the fix with the appropriate tech folks within Oracle.
I think it is ridiculous that some folks say things like "I hope planet mysql has not been hijacked!". Of course it has not -- this is a silly technical issue, which is pretty obvious once you think about it -- when the feed was added, it added the most recent posts. It looks like those posts might be in the future or something.
It's just a broken RSS feed, folks. Why is everyone so quick to try to accuse Oracle of bad stuff? They certainly have not been perfect, but they have done a lot of good, sprinkled in with some bad stuff here and there. Just take a deep breath, relax, and think about e-mailing the community team when that happens.
That's what I did.
