MySQL Camp is Coming
Jay scooped me on the news but he’s right – we’re organizing a MySQL camp in the spirit of Barcamp.
One of the great things about living in the bay area is that that there are a lot of smart geeks here. Generally speaking, most of the smart guys in MySQL work either for MySQL AB or one of the big Web 2.0 shops like Facebook or Yahoo. This should give everyone the opportunity to leave their cubicles and share all their tricks with the whole community.
We’re also going to be doing this the right way which means that we’re going to expect people to lead their own sections and contribute in some way shape or form. This isn’t just another top-down conference where sessions are approved by a committee.
One great piece of news is that MySQL AB is really excited about the opportunity to do this and will be sending a number of core MySQL hackers to discuss MySQL internals.
We’re currently trying to shoot for Nov 10 through 12.
If you’re able to hook us up with a venue for around 100 people with individual rooms for about 5 concurrent sessions please send me an email.
I’ll provide a link to the wiki as soon as its setup.
Count me in!
