Presentations

PalominoDB is very excited about our participation in the upcoming PerconaLive conference in London.  We'll have two of our European staff presenting.  On Monday, Jonathan Levin will be doing a tutorial on Advanced MySQL Scaling Strategies for Developers, and on Tuesday Rene Cannao will be presenting on MySQL Backup and Recovery Tools and Techniques.  Rene and Jonathan are two of our newer team members, and represent an exciting growth in staff outside of the US; Jonathan being in the UK and Rene being in Malta.  I know I'm thrilled to get out to London to meet a lot of new folks in our community.

We did get a chance to present at PerconaLive in NYC this year as well, which was quite a lot of fun, and the positive reception Sheeri's session got was gratifying.  Percona has become a huge part of our community and has provided great value in their information share, tools, services and now conferences - including the MySQL Conference & Expo 2012.  Having been involved in professional MySQL consulting and remote support for four years has been quite the adventure, and the fact that so many companies find space to create, share and prosper only shows the viability of open source software and the communities behind it.  

I know we at PalominoDB are quite proud to share space with companies such as Pythian, Blue Gecko, SkySQL and, of course, Percona. We are proud to support open source solutions across the board, and are even more excited to have grown to a place where we have the resources to contribute back to them, to non-profits and to the growth of our clients and every person on our team.  Here's to an exciting and brilliant future, and a great conference!

A short while ago I posted about the Oracle OpenWorld Schedule Matrix of MySQL sessions (in PDF and HTML formats).  We have printed up a (small) number of schedules to have on hand at the MySQL Community kiosk at the User Group Pavillion in Moscone West.

Yes, you read that correctly -- the User Group Pavillion will include a MySQL Community kiosk this year!  Sarah and I have been coordinating the effort to staff the kiosk and figure out what we need to provide.

Sadly, it's just a kiosk (same as all the other User Group organizations get), so we cannot have a ton of flyers there.  To that end, we have created a QR code that resolves to www.kimtag.com/MySQL, which is where we are putting many links.  

To that end, we'd like your help figuring out what we have missed.  In order to keep the list of links as short and relevant as possible we have put as many aggregate links as we could, for example we link to planet.mysql.com instead of individual blogs, and we are only listing the major conferences with over 500 attendees expected.  The links at www.kimtag.com/MySQL as of the time of this blog writing are:

- MySQL sessions at OOW

- Planet MySQL

- dev.mysql.com (docs, etc)

- mysql.com

- MySQL User Groups (forge.mysql.com list) - so if you have a user group, make sure to update the forge page!

- Percona Live 2012 Conference & Expo

- MySQL videos on YouTube

- IOUG MySQL Council

- OurSQL Podcast Blog

- OurSQL iTunes link

- MySQL Experts podcast

- Book: MySQL Administrator's bible*

- Book: High Performance MySQL

- Book: Expert PHP/MySQL

- Book: MySQL High Availability

If you think of a link we should put on there, please comment below.

For what it's worth, the paper we will have will be:

- The current day's schedule

- A flyer about Percona Live 2012 MySQL Conference & Expo

- A poster of the QR code and a few small paper slips with the QR code

- IOUG MySQL Council business cards
