MySQL Community Manager at Oracle. I have been using Open Source databases for many years and actually worked for MySQL AB before it was purchased by Sun and eventually Oracle. I have used just about all the open source DBs including Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and more key/pair stores than I want to count. My background is using open source software in underfunded projects for companies ranging from the American Heart Association to Xerox.
