With the close of call for papers earlier this month, the Percona Live London conference committee was in full swing this past week reviewing all of the many submissions for November’s Percona Live London MySQL Conference.
The submissions are far ranging and cover some really interesting topics, making the lineup for Percona Live London really strong! What the committee looks for in a submission is how much “value” a talk will bring to the conference – this is to say it needs to be far more that a product demo. As such, real-world experiences are receiving much more favorable reviews, along with talks that cover methodologies the attendees will …
[Read more]The Sept. 8 deadline is looming to submit your speaker proposals for Percona Live London 2013′s conference breakout sessions and tutorial sessions.

Some call for papers pointers:
It will soon be November and we'll be queuing up to register for the Percona Live conference once again. I spoke with some of this year's Percona Live London committee we all agreed that it would be great to arrange a community dinner if there was a community interest. In the past years of the PLUK conference there has not been a community event to attend in order to discuss sessions and make new friends. I for one love the `Pythian-arranged Community Dinner` at Pedro's that occurs annually in Santa Clara during the Percona Live Conference. I know that there are many attendees that do London and CA each year and wager that they'd agree that it's a great event. So lets have it... please r.s.v.p here and if the numbers are good enough we'll schedule something the evening of the tutorials. Please let me know of your interest in the comments below. Thanks :D
Those who regularly read this blog knows how much I am excited about Percona Live London each year. Now, it is time for me to take part in the organization of this event as a member of the committee and chairman of the conference.
I am really proud to join the committee this year and very happy to share this role with Ivan, Ben, David, Todd and Kenny.
You can imagine that I am honored that Percona has made me
this beautiful gift.
Now, we face the challenges!
I am also very pleased to introduce myself as a member of this committee as an employee of Dailymotion. ‘Cause Dailymotion offers me an incredible chance to do my job with passion and fun, like never before.
When I started this blog I wanted to do it as honestly as
possible and as humbly as possible.
And I wanted to keep the …
Senior MySQL DBA John Cesario of Go Daddy spoke at Percona Live in April and shared his views on Percona MySQL Training. Here’s what he had to say:
“Go Daddy is passionate about helping our customers. Percona
Innodb training gives us another tool to elevate our customer
support to the next level. It gives us the kind of insight that
only comes from understanding MySQL at a code level. This helps
Go Daddy understand MySQL internals, so we can increase
performance and reduce troubleshooting time. The instructors are
top-notch and leverage their years of field work, providing
curriculum that is both relevant and immediately practical. I
highly recommend Percona training for all aspects of MySQL
consumption: from developers to operational administrators.”

Peter Zaitsev speaks at the Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo in Santa Clara, Calif. in April 2013.
In the MySQL ecosystem, there is some sort of conference or another all year long. But why are they important?
To answer this, we can split the audience into 3 groups:
- MySQL Professionnals
- MySQL Community Members
- MySQL (Future?) Users
Depending on which category you are in, you can have different expectations about conferences.
For MySQL Professionals, it’s the best opportunity to meet partners, customers and also other business players in real life – and this is a very important point. As most of our contact with customers is virtual, meeting people and discussing things with them in person is very beneficial for future collaboration. This is also …
