acronyms
tim bray coined MARS: it stands for “mysql + apache + ruby + solaris.” (get the shirt.)
bill de hóra proposed MADD: “mysql + apache + django + debian.”
when forwarding the above to an internal mailing list at mysql, i proposed MAUDE: “mysql + apache + ubuntu + django + eclipse.” the logo would be a picture of bea arthur, of course.
but mårten mickos, ceo of mysql, came up with MARTEN: “mysql + apache + ruby + tomcat + eclipse + nagios.”
or would that be åpache?
