MySQL Track at the DOAG 2010 Conference

The DOAG 2010 Conference + Exhibition is to be held from the 16th to 18th November in Nuremberg this year. DOAG stands for "Deutsche ORACLE-Anwendergruppe", in English: the German Oracle User's Group.

We will be adding a MySQL track to the conference this year, much like Ronald and Sheeri did for the ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2010. Volker Oboda (of PrimeBase Technologies) is organizing the track and I will be helping to review the submissions. More information is available in German on Volker's MySQL Blog.

So, if you are planning to be in the area, please consider submitting a talk. The deadline for submissions was the 30 June, but has been extended until 10 July for the MySQL track. Talks in English are welcome!

We are looking forward to playing an active part in the German speaking Oracle community. Just the size is something to wonder about. The DOAG Conference draws over 2500 participants, which is larger than the MySQL Conference (but maybe not for long!).

PrimeBase Engines at the MySQL Conference 2009

Barry, Vladimir and I (the entire PrimeBase dev team!) will be presenting next week at the MySQL User Conference and Expo.

We've got lots of cool stuff going on. Barry will tell you how PBMS can store your BLOBs in the clouds, Vladimir will be explaining what makes PBXT so fast, and I will be talking about the past, the present and the future...

Even if that all doesn't interest you, be sure to just drop by to say hi. We're friendly, really! :)
