FOSDEM 13 is now over, I am on my way home and I would like to share some thoughts sparkled by the intense atmosphere that I have lived in these two days in Brussels.
I have to admit, I was tempted to skip FOSDEM this year: the last 3 weeks have been crazily busy and I travelled a lot, leaving my family alone for too long. But now I am glad I made the effort.

A few months ago, in MySQL 5.6.4, I took a brief look at MySQL 5.6's new InnoDB Fulltext support; see Initial impressions of InnoDB Fulltext. There have been quite a few new point releases since then, and we're into RC releases of MySQL 5.6 now, so I thought I'd take another look.

Boel Larsen blogs about open positions & life at SkySQL - and wants you to join the fun!
Those of you who know me also know that I spent over six years working for MySQL HR (for another couple of years I stayed on with Sun). I joined as employee thirty-something, so running HR meant that I was more or less involved with hiring all of the 400 or so employees who joined after me. I knew pretty much everyone by name.
