Versant acquired db4o yesterday
See the news from the Versant site and from the db4o blog.
Well, that the Enterprise ODBMS buying the embedded ODBMS. Don't know what it means to the ODBMS community. Does it means that eventually the db4o business model didn't work as expected despite the good image of the product and company on the market? I also don't clearly see what it means to the Poet's FastObject part of Versant...
I know both products quite well, and I know both teams share some common genuine values around quality and performance. Even if I now work for a company who owns ObjectStore, I wanted to send a sincere "good luck" to them.

Thanks a lot!
I believe it's beneficial for db4o to have this new home. It's very important to note that Versant trusts the ability of the db4objects team to deliver a cutting edge and accessible persistence solution (and we do share many points in common which makes the transition easier).
Best regards.
