Geeklog

The objective of the Microsoft SQL (MSSQL) port is to provide another database alternative to MYSQL to take advantage of SQL server in business environments where Mysql may be a barrier to entry. The goal was to provide the ability for GL1.4.0 to work in either Mysql or MS SQL server with zero code changes required to be done by the end user. The version(s) of SQL supported are SQL 2000 and above, including the MSDE.

An example plugin that was created to show an approach to isolate the database layer from the application logic can be found here in the downloads library.

FrOSCon, the Free and Open Source Software Conference, is a 2-day event taking place on June 24th and 25th, 2006, in Bonn, Germany. I'll be there on the first day (Saturday, June 24th) giving the Using Geeklog as a Web Application Framework presentation again.

The talk is part of a separate PHP track that's not up on the website yet.

I realize this is on rather short notice, but I only got the confirmation myself yesterday. Still, if you have a chance - drop by and say Hi!

LinuxTag was off to a quiet start on Wednesday, which didn't really surprise anyone, given the nice and warm weather we're currently enjoying over here. The real traffic is expected on Friday and Saturday.

The most commonly asked questions at the Geeklog booth were So what is Geeklog? and Does that iBook run Linux? which just goes to show that we have some evangelizing to do - and which is exactly why we're doing this.

Those of you who can't be here can download our flyer and I'll try to post some more interesting photos here. Flickr.com also has other people's photos under the linuxtag tag.
