Michael ‘Monty’ Widenius, co-found of MySQL, has announced that that he is leaving Sun Microsystems. In a posting on his blog Widenius confirmed rumours that he was intent on leaving the company last year, around the time MySQL’s other co-founder David Axmark quit. 



Widenius is now splitting his time between two new ventures. The first is a software house called Monty Program Ab, which aims to be a truly open source software house owned and run by around 30-40 employees. Secondly Widenius plans to open a restaurant that uses databases of customers to provide a better service.
