CUBRID Participates at the OSCON Conference - July 13, 2010
SEOUL, KOREA, July 13, 2010 – CUBRID, an open source project dedicated to accelerating the growth of open source database management systems, today announced that it is going to attend the O’Reilly OSCON Open Source Convention held in Portland, Oregon, between July 19~23, 2010.
Here is a quote from the conference web site: "There is big change in technology and society, and open source is making it happen. Cloud computing is transforming our toolkit, from NoSQL to systems management. Mobile services are growing exponentially, set alight by Android and iPhone. New languages and APIs are flourishing. Developers must adapt to a rapidly evolving platform, which open source is the key to managing and steering."
Though CUBRID is already a database solution highly optimized for Web Applications, there is a lot to learn at the open source industry. O'Reilly OSCON Open Source Convention is another opportunity for us to connect to the open source universe, to those who are "passionate about open source, from developers, engineers, designers, trainers, and programmers to sys admins, IT managers, hackers, and entrepreneurs". Through the collaboration at OSCON sessions we want to learn how to foster contribution and adoption of CUBRID open source database management system globally.
For those interested in CUBRID's global strategy and development, we will be glad to share the CUBRID's passion. Meet our team, and we will tell what's next in CUBRID, what are the items we want to include that will change the way we use store the data.
Open Source Buzz: Interview with CUBRID - June 22, 2010
CUBRID team participated at the MySQL Conference earlier this year. The outcomes were incredibly valuable for CUBRID! One of the very active CUBRID enthusiasts at the conference was Alolita Sharm, an Open Source Initiative Director and CEO of Technetra.
Alolita eagerly shared her exceptional knowledge and experience in Open Source Industry. She suggested us to attend as many global open source conferences as possible as well as concentrate on the growth of CUBRID Global Community. One of the conferences in her mind was OSCON 2010 Open Source Convention. OSCON will provide very good opportunity to increase CUBRID awareness since many database experts will be attending the conference. In addition, she told there will be other OS conferences in Japan, Singapore and India, her home country. For such advice, thank you very much Alolita!
On June 21, 2010 Alolita published an article "Meet CUBRID: One of Korea’s Top Open Source Projects" about her interview with our CUBRID team in Silicon Valley. Follow the link to read the full interview.

Open source CUBRID Cluster Project has been started at Sourceforge.net - June 7, 2010
CUBRID plans to add the clustering support to its open source database by the end of this year, which will allow it to distribute the database across multiple servers and boost its reliability and availability.
Here is the preview of CUBRID Cluster features.
We know CUBRID is a database server engine already highly optimized for Web Applications. The CUBRID Cluster will be a spin-off project of this CUBRID DBMS. The objective of CUBRID Cluster is to provide the linear scalability without altering the application. This will be possible through location/failure/replication/relocation transparency by global schema. CUBRID Cluster will support the single database view while providing the multi access point to database. The clustered database system can be scaled-up independently. Thus, applications will not have to consider the physical structure of the database any more. CUBRID Cluster will also provide the distributed partition and better load balancing features.
Pertaining to CUBRID Cluster development process, it will be completely open source and will be developed together with CUBRID Developers Community at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cubridcluster. The stable release will be announced at the end of this year.
Once again, CUBRID Cluster is an open source project, so all developers are welcomed to join, propose their ideas, and improve the code. Visit http://cubrid.org/cluster for more information.

CUBRID became a member of Linux Foundation as a silver sponsor - April 08, 2010
Seoul, Korea, April 08, 2010 – CUBRID, open source DBMS optimized for web service announced that CUBRID became a new member of Linux Foundation.
CUBRID provides an open source database system that is optimized for web services to support mission-critical Internet applications. The company is joining the Linux Foundation to gain access to exclusive networking opportunities and face-to-face collaboration with members of the Linux community.
Linux’ strengths in the enterprise translate into major advantages for supporting web-based businesses. Its ability to enable seamless high-volume transactions and high performance server/client infrastructure are among the reasons CUBRID has become an active member of the Linux development community and The Linux Foundation.
We are looking forward to collaboration with other Linux Foundation members at events where major Linux stakeholders meet face-to-face. It is this benefit that will help us advance our customers’ web services strategies said Byungjoo Chung, CEO of CUBRID.
Enterprise Linux capabilities are extending to the web as the requirements for high-performance, stable application availability increase said Amanda McPherson, vice president of marketing and developer programs at The Linux Foundation. This is a natural time for CUBRID to join The Linux Foundation and we look forward to their participation.”
CUBRID will participate in the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit April 14-16, 2010 in San Francisco. To request an invitation to the Summit, please visit: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/component/registrationpro/?func=details&did=26CUBRID Participates at the MySQL Conference - April 07, 2010
Seoul, Korea, April 07, 2010 - CUBRID, an open source DBMS optimized for web services has announced that the company will attend the MySQL Conference & Expo hosted by O’Reilly held in Santa Clara (USA) from April 12 to 15.
CUBRID not only ensures the high-performance, stability, scalability and availability required for mission-critical Internet applications, but is also a full-featured DBMS which supports Java-based stored procedures, high-availability and partitioning, which are essential for large Internet service areas.
Since its announcement of going open source in 2008, about 40,000 users have downloaded free CUBRID applications over a 16 month period and it has secured the user infrastructure in Korea. CUBRID can also guarantee its reliable operation since it has been applied to about 50 services provided via Naver (www.naver.com), the Korea’s largest Internet portal. Additionally, its reliability is attested by many Internet companies, as well as by various public organizations and foreign government institutions.
According to Jung Byung-joo, CEO of CUBRID, The MySQL Conf. & Expo is a place where developers from across the world interested in open source DBMSs gather together and I hope that this opportunity allows me to introduce CUBRID to them and check its growth potential as an open source software. He added, We will focus on networking with developers and users so we can be recharged as a global open source DMBS by globally expanding from Asia, where an open source software is not wide-provided yet."
In October, 2009, in efforts to be a global open source software, CURBRID launched the CUBRID Project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cubrid/) on SourceForge.net and http://www.cubrid.org, a site for communication in English. In order to communicate with developers from all over the world through SNS, the company also recently made a Twitter account (http://twitter.com/cubrid) and a Facebook account (http://www.facebook.com/pages/CUBRID/300271972317). Starting from the MySQL Conf. & Expo, CUBRID is going to continuously take part in open source-related events such as OSCON.
CUBRID Global Projects has been opened - October 28, 2009
Seoul, Korea, Oct. 28, 2009 – CUBRID announced that it has opened up its CUBRID Project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cubrid) as a launching point to expand globally using the world's largest open source software development web site SourceForge.net, and also launched the beta version of its English community site for global open source developers and users (http://www.cubrid.org).
In addition, CUBRID selected a partner in Europe to spearhead its global expansion, and has resolved to promote global projects and developer communities through SourceForge.net. SourceForge.net is a platform hosting open source software projects, and it is very popular among developer communities around the world. By opening up the CUBRID Project to SourceForge.net for its global expansion, CUBRID is now able to help open source developers around the world to develop tools and attract their attention to CUBRID products.
Since we released the open source CUBRID last November, the number of downloads has increased more than fourfold. More Korean developers started using CUBRID, and CUBRID has been being employed much faster than we expected, so we plan to enter the global market earlier than originally scheduled. And he continued, By engaging open source developers around the world in our projects and strengthening collaboration with various developer communities by expanding globally, we hope to reach more global users and increase awareness of our brand.
Jangyoon, KIM, Director of CUBRID Overseas Business, said, We plan to earn the top position in the database engine/server category of SourceForge.net within this year by promoting the close relationship between the SourceForge.net platform and developer community sites for product development.
To raise the visibility of CUBRID in the global market, CUBRID will collaborate with its European partners concerning everything from conducting market surveys to marketing to developers, and will collaborate closely with global hardware and software vendors.
