Newsletter sent on 3rd February 2020
Good Monday morning – if your timezone is similar to London, Europe.
You didn’t read this greeting for a while. Federico-Razzoli.com UPDATEs was suspended without a notice, simply because it took more time than I had. But… despite the good practical reasons, it was a mistake. FRUs is a way to communicate with people. Spread important news and views, and quite frequently receive your smart private feedback.
I’ve been missing this, because I think Federico-Razzoli.com UPDATEs provided value to both readers and me. Which explains why people still clicks on very old newsletters – and no, it’s not the result of fake statistics from the newsletter service I use, because I also got some feedback very recently!
I am rethinking my business, because I believe I will soon have the opportunity to expand it. And as part of this, I am rethinking Federico-Razzoli.com UPDATEs. I hope you’ll find it useful and interesting. But this is also the best time to help me: give me your ideas and opinions now, I’ll keep them all into account.
Events
The next London Open Source Databases meetup is: Meet MariaDB team!
