| There is a room dedicated to MySQL at FOSDEM 2012. (Thanks to @lefred for organizing). The CfP has received 37 submissions, but there will be time slots only for 12 to 15 talks. So now it's up to the community. If you want to attend a particular talk, you should vote for it. Like in previous years, the selection of the talks is public.

It's that time of the year where MySQL would be speakers are
called to action. As usual, the main event is the MySQL spring
conference, this year hosted by Percona. The call for participation to the
MySQL Conference And Expo 2012 is still open until
December 5th. To submit a proposal, you should register as a

on Friday evening , apparently having a confirmed reservation in a
resto is not enough to actually be welcome at that restaurant. at
DrupalDevdays, only 2 laptops were open during our presentation at
DrupalDevdays, almost nobody in the room was already using CI at
Fosdem , the parking lot is full before 11:30 on a saturday at
Fosdem , much less Macs than last years . at Fosdem , way too much
rooms are already at full capacity so you need to have 2-3 backup
alternatives .. at Fosdem , people expect me to be in certain
rooms, at the same time at Fosdem , even with too much rooms
already full one still misses a bunch of interresting talks at
