I’m about to head to Paris to present at the February meetup of the MySQL User Group in Paris, France. It happens 1st February from 6-8pm at the Patricks Irish Pub. Its free to attend, and I understand that SkySQL keeps this event afloat.
I’m also heading to my first FOSDEM right afterwards and will definitely hang out at the MySQL & Friends Devroom. There is an amazing lineup of speakers, with all talks being about 25-30 minutes, it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. To boot, Michael “Monty” Widenius will also be there, so expect lots of Salmiakkikossu.

Giuseppe had posted the full scehdule here:
http://datacharmer.blogspot.com/2012/01/mysql-and-friends-schedule-at-fosdem.html

Or, better say, I have not blogged for so long…
What happened? Well, it has been a crazy year, probably the
busiest year in my whole working life. When you are in your late
twenties/early thirties, you can dedicate all your energy to
something, work, hobby, charity, sport, study, you name it. You work hard, and
every now and then you have time to lie down and recharge your
batteries. In one or two days, if you can sleep 9/10 hours per
day, all the tiredness you have accumulated goes away. I have
