Marten Mickos joined MySQL in 2001 with no open-source experience. He spent time studying the business model, became the recognized godfather of commercial open source, and turned his inexperience into an advantage by becoming the expert everyone else had to learn from.
So I love this saying that somebody taught me that he was a brilliant executive, all he lacked was inexperience. Because when I joined MySQL, I knew databases, I knew nothing about open source. It looked good from the outside, but I didn't know anything. And now somebody calls me godfather of commercial open source, like, whoo! Because I really didn't know nothing, but I got the advice back in 2001. Somebody said, Martin, you should become the expert on open source business models because that's— that will drive business. And I decided to do that. So I read everything I could and thought through everything I could about open source business models and I became the go-to person for all the journalists and everybody who wrote about it. So the inexperience was very useful.
