<p>Well I did not expect that much when MySQL offered us to piggyback on their participation in GSoC 2008, but at the end we have two projects. One is about 
<a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2008/mysql/appinfo.html?csaid=C3207AADF389E43C">blobstreaming</a>which I absolutely don't know and is probably some amazing new technology :-). Marc will act as a sponsor on this together with some guys from 
<a href="http://www.blobstreaming.org">http://www.blobstreaming.org</a>.</p>
<p>The second project is 
<a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2008/mysql/appinfo.html?csaid=77F70DCEE7EBCAD1">setup rewrite</a>where I will act as a mentor and Piotr Przybylski will implement it. Hopefully we will bring this to successful end and soon phpMyAdmin will bring you easier way to set up and configure it's options.</p>

<p>While looking at poll about 
<a href="http://cos.root.cz/hlasovani/">Czech open source</a>for first time, I was surprised that two of my projects got in - 
<a href="http://www.phpmyadmin.net/">phpMyAdmin</a>and 
<a href="http://wammu.eu/">Wammu</a>. After looking again at that page I noticed there is a typo in phpMyAdmins name, it was written as phpMinAdmin. Then I looked even more carefully and even URL it is pointing to is something different. In this time I realized that it is something completely different with just very similar name. 
<a href="http://phpminadmin.sourceforge.net/">phpMinAdmin</a>is some minimalistic clone of 
<a href="http://www.phpmyadmin.net/">phpMyAdmin</a>, but why they could not choose a bit more different name?</p>
<p>PS: Anyway you can still vote for 
<a href="http://wammu.eu/">Wammu</a>in 
<a href="http://cos.root.cz/hlasovani/">Czech open source</a>:-).</p>
