MySQL Conference – Day 0 and 1
Today has been a fabulous day – MySQL really knows how to throw a party… umm Conference. Yesterday had the tutorials and I have to admit that the ones I attended (Advanced Stored Procedures and Memcache) were incredibly interesting and highly relevant. Learned about some things that aren’t even documented in the manual as of yet. And afterwards had a fun time hanging out at the bar with the MySQLers (great guys one and all).
Today I have been “womaning” the booth (Thank you again MySQL and Oreilly for giving it to us) with the help of Sebastian Bergmann and Raj Shekher – handing out business cards and stickers – talking with men and women about our group in between the sessions I am attending (Lost Art of Self Joins, EXPLAIN Demystified, Replication Tips and Tricks). Next to me is the silverstripe CMS group – and they had a gave away for an ipod shuffle… and I won! Woot.
I love this place.
