From the PostgreSQL's/SQLite's Time dept.:
Oracle Corp. figured its $7.4 billion buyout for Sun Microsystems Inc. could skate through antitrust scrutiny, folding Sun into a technology powerhouse when Sun badly needs the lifeline. Both companies will have to wait.
European Union regulators applied the brakes Thursday, launching a formal antitrust probe that shatters Oracle's goal of completing the acquisition this summer. The U.S. Department of Justice has already approved the deal.

But putting the Sun and Oracle headlines aside, there’s even more happening in the MySQL community–both from a technology and organizational point of view.
