The first Free Software Conference in Kosovo is being held on August 29-30 in Prishtina, Kosovo. The newborn state, which declared independence in 2008, is growing in several ways. Besides economic and political growth, also technology is expanding. In this fresh environment, free and open source software can have an important role. The conference schedule includes local and international speakers. |
I have a strong professional and personal relationship with
Kosovo. Before and after the war, from 1998 to 2002, I was part
of the OSCE-UN mission that helped the …
Do you plan to attend the Free and Open Source Conference (FrOSCon) in St. Augustin, Germany on August 22 & 23? Are you a fan of MySQL and would you like to share your knowledge about it with other users? Here is your chance!
Sun Microsystems is a Gold sponsor of FrOSCon this year and will also be present with a booth there on both days. In addition to demo stations about Open HA Cluster, OpenSolaris and NetBeans, Sun will also provide space for a MySQL info desk, which we would like to turn into a "Guru Bar", including members of the MySQL community.
The goal is to talk with existing and potential new MySQL users, share …
[Read more]FrOSCon, the Free and Open Source Conference, will take place on August 22nd and 23rd in Sankt Augustin, Germany. Sun Microsystems is a Gold Sponsor of the conference which takes place for the fourth time now. As for the previous years, the organizers have managed to arrange a great lineup of speakers and content. Presentations are held in both English and German — a first draft of the schedule is now available. However, it is still subject to change in some details, based on the feedback by the invited speakers.
I am looking forward to this event, especially since we're helping to organize the OpenSQL Camp subconference there, which will take place in parallel (there also is a subconference about Java this time). By the way: if you've missed the deadline for submitting …

For the fourth time in a row, I will be speaking at FrOSCon, one of the most
charming open source events in Europe.
Hosted in the bright environment of the Department of Computer
Science of the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg,
this event will get you hooked from the beginning. The
organization is done by volunteers, who have always done an
amazing job, with even better results than more expensive and
famous conferences.
This year, there will be some more action than ever before. In
addition to the main event, the organizers have given away a few
developers rooms, to let some projects build their own event
within the main one. There will be a Java subconference, and,
closer to my interests, the European edition of the OpenSQLCamp 2009,
which applies to all open …
I am going to Madrid, Spain, to participate in the Open Communities Forum on June 18-19.
As usual with Sun open events, the agenda includes several actors
in the open source arena, such as MySQL, Java, Open Solaris, with
topics ranging from web development to mobile integration.
It looks promising, and I look forward to this event, which is my
first one in Spain.
On the first day, I will do an introductory talk about MySQL, and
a more technical workshop for advanced users. The second day will
be mainly dedicated to meeting users in the area, but I will also
do a guest appearance in a talk about database testing.

The session at the Boston MySQL User Group was very enjoyable. There was a full room, and the presentation was followed with attention and curiosity. The slides I used for this presentation include the deck used by Allan Packer and Mikael Ronström at the MySQL Conference 2009, followed by a testimony of my own experience with 5.4. Here is the final deck: MySQL 5.4 theory and practice |
While preparing the slides, I realized that, for the first time,
we have a product that allows a painless performance gain. Unlike
all the tuning and technological improvements that you can use to
improve …
