Where’s the News?

It’s been six weeks since the completion of the acquisition of MySQL by Sun Microsystems . In this time, on the MySQL News and Press Releases there has only been one (1) Press Release here .
In the six weeks between the announcement and completion of the acquisition MySQL made ten (10) Press Releases, and the six weeks preceding this including the Christmas break there was (six) Press Releases.

On the Sun Press Releases in this period there has been twenty three (23), but just the same one MySQL specific.

The MySQL Developer Zone has picked up three articles in the past week, but nothing prior to that for a month.

So, Where’s the News of what’s happening with MySQL?

It seems our only options are the official company blog of Kaj Arno and his travels , Robin Schumacher and Giuseppe Maxia as other sources of information.
