OlinData at INTED2009

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

Come and meet us at the INTED2009 conference in Valencia, Spain in March of 2009. Walter has just
been accepted to submit a paper and do an oral presentation during the conference.

INTED is a conference about technology and education. From the INTED2009 website:
“The general objective of the conference is to promote international collaboration in the fields of Education, Technology and Research in all educational fields and disciplines.”

The talk (and paper) will be outlining what MySQL can be used for in organisations in general and in teh educational field specifically. We hope to be promoting the use of MySQL in more organisations, specifically within educational organisations in this case.

Come and check out teh conference, or just come to meet Walter in person!
