What has happened to the Open Source Database Consortium?

A while ago, people from the major Open Source
database systems have met to form the Open Source Database Consortium - that was in October 2005.

aren't over again. It was told that a website will be created at www.osdbconsortium.org.
There's nothing to see except a "Just a web page" note. I haven't heard
any news about this since October - I believe, it would be nice if
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird etc. could do some things together. That
would certainly be more welcoming than any deal with a proprietary
database vendor.
