I am getting ready to FOSDEM, the biggest European gathering of free and open source software enthusiasts. The event is held in Brussels, Belgium, on February 7-8, 2009.
MySQL has a developers room on Sunday, with a schedule rich of well known names and juicy topics.
I will present a talk about partitions in MySQL 5.1.
Lenz will have a talk in the main conference, on MySQL high availability.
There is a wiki page on MySQL Forge where we will provide last minute information.

Look at the size of of the devrooms , if at all , a project gets
at Fosdem
It's really interresting to see the Embedded room move to a 500
seat room which it really needed when the first openMoko talk was

The FDO , Drupal, Mozilla, Centos/Fedora and Suse rooms stay in similar size rooms as last year.. But it seems lik the BSD and PostgreSQL room which was pretty crowded moved to a bigger location.
The Ruby room also seems to move to a bigger room. Fosdem has a couple of new rooms too it seems this freed up room for new groups such as the MySQL Crowd

A (slightly belated) Happy New Year to you! I just returned from my Christmas vacation two days ago, which I spent mostly at home and with my parents-in-law in St. Radegund, Austria. Now I am busy catching up with what has piled up during my absence (I managed to resist the temptation to check my work email during the time off).
Some MySQL-related news that came up in the past weeks and are worth sharing:

Wohoo!
I just got word that the proposals I submitted for FOSDEM are

I'll be doing two talks:

Organization for FOSDEM 2009 is in full swing. MySQL has a devroom, for which we want talk proposals. The call for papers ends on January 15, 2009. There is no registration for the event, but if you want to have a 1 hour speaker slot, please send us a proposal using this form.
