We received today the notification for FOSDEM’s organization that the MySQL DevRoom is accepted for the 2022’s edition !

The MySQL DevRoom will take place on February 6th, 2022. It’s a Sunday. Like previous edition, FOSDEM will be an online event.

Due to the very short deadlines, this year an external committee cannot be created to validate, sort and vote for the proposed talks.

We will propose the best agenda respecting the ideas and precepts that have made our MySQL DevRoom one of the most popular room of FOSDEM for so many years.

The MySQL Developer room focuses on MySQL and its Ecosystem.

The call for papers for the MySQL DevRoom is now officially open !

Indeed, if you are not yet aware of it, FOSDEM 2021 will be an online event. Every year we are overwhelmed with submissions and it’s the committee that has the thankless task of deciding on the final selections and agenda.

When I tell people that they can use MySQL without SQL they tend to be skeptical.  But with the MySQL Document Store you can do just that with a new NoSQL API and in this case there is no structured query language.pre-FOSDEM MySQL Days (which is sold out and there is a waiting list) is my tutorial on using the Document Store.  Those in my session will be able to see how to use the MySQL Shell (mysqlsh) to connect to a MySQL server and save data without have to do the many things a DBA used to have to do in the past such as normalize data, setup relations, and several other tasks.  Plus the schema-less Document Store means you can alter your data needs without having to do an endless series of ALTER TABLES.

Hello dear MySQL Community ! As you know FOSDEM 2020 will take place February 1st and 2nd. After having received many, many requests we decided to organize for the 4th year in a row the pre-FOSDEM MySQL Day… with a big change, for this edition the event will be called “pre-FOSDEM MySQL Days” !

We have decided to extend that extra day related to the world’s most popular open source database to 2 days: 30th and 31st of January at the usual location in Brussels.

We will also have the usual sessions track but most probably a second room for those who would like to get their hands dirty in the code !!

Please don’t forget to register as soon as possible as you may already know, the seats are limited !

Here are my slides about MySQL 8.0 Scalability & Benchmarks from Percona LIVE 2019 in Austin, TX. (and I also realized I forgot to publish my slides from MySQL pre-FOSDEM 2019 Day about MySQL Performance Tuning, so fixing it now ;-))

This was not on the radar. I have never been proficient in Galera clusters and related technologies, and thus I hadn’t given much thought to Percona Xtradb Cluster (PXC), until Alkin approached me at FOSDEM, and proposed to extend dbdeployer features to support PXC. He mentioned that many support engineers at Percona use dbdeployer) on a daily basis and that the addition of PXC would be welcome.

I could not follow up much during the conference, but we agreed on …
