Preparing for the future: MySQL conference 2009

Here is a list of talks at the MySQL user conference that focus on new and upcoming features in MySQL. I will try to attend most of these myself, although I have some certifications to acquire and other topics of interest.

I finally received confirmation that I’m attending the MySQL Conference 2009, yay! I didn’t really dive deep into all the conference has to offer just because I didn’t want to get too excited and then not be able to go.

Live from FOSDEM 2009

I am now at FOSDEM, volunteering at the MySQL project stand and attending sessions in between.
Today is the most important day for MySQL. At 13:15 CET there will be a talk by Kaj Arno covering recent events at Sun/MySQL.

I am here with Santo Leto from HoneySoftware at the moment and he is going to attempt live blogging that session. Internet has not been the best here so far, so keep your fingers crossed!

Call for ideas for the MySQL project stand at FOSDEM 2009

A few months ago I decided to attend FOSDEM 2009, a free open source conference in Brussels, just 150 kilometers from my home in Rotterdam.
A few weeks later I bumped into a call for participation on Lenz Grimmer’s blog. I signed up, thinking I could spare a few hours and it would be fun to tell other people about this product I have come to care so much about.
