Shortly after I blogged about my upcoming talks and events, I got informed that one of my session proposals for the next09 conference was accepted. This event will take place in Hamburg, Germany on Tuesday and Wednesday (5th and 6th of May), so at least there isn't much travel involved.

My talk about "Working for a Virtual Company: How we do it at MySQL" has been scheduled for 9:00 am on Wednesday morning, parallel to a keynote by Brian Solis from FutureWorks. I'm not sure how many people will actually show up, but I look forward to giving a talk about a less technical subject for a change! I'm going to share my experiences how it's like working in a virtual company of our scale and talk about some of the key aspects of what makes this model work. If you happen to be in Hamburg at that time, consider attending the conference!

The conference program looks quite interesting and there are quite a few well-known names on the speakers roster. Considering that I'll also be giving two talks about MySQL at AMOOCON on Monday that very same week, it'll be some busy times...
