Now that the call for participation is open, let me present the selection committee members that will read, evaluate, and rate your submissions.

Committee members are responsible for evaluating and scoring proposals.
They must also consider certain constraints, such as that the project must be open source, and that the session must be technical and in English. The best proposals will be selected for the devroom on Sunday afternoon.

Hi all,

As you know the CfP for the devroom has been open and you may have noticed that we have only half a day that we also need to share.

Therefore, we will have only 4 sessions and they should look like this:

We didn’t decide yet which of the two colors will be for which project.

Due to the very low number of sessions, we will not attempt to compose a selection committee.

Hello,

Due to a complete misunderstanding about the available slots, FOSDEM’s organization had to remove 2 talks from the previous planned agenda.

However, we didn’t want to announce to previously accepted speakers that their talks were cancelled ! Therefore, we decided, with FOSDEM’s approval, to extend the FOSDEM 2022 MySQL Devroom, opening our room on Saturday afternoon.

Two talks were then moved to Saturday and the two backup talks were immediately added to the schedule !

More work for us and our speakers but more pleasure for all the MySQL fans !

Don’t miss FOSDEM MySQL Devroom’s 2022 edition, free online conference.

Here is the new updated schedule (the official one …
