I wish I could be at this: Percona Live San Francisco. It is on February 16th. Cost is minimal, and content is maximal. The topic is on what’s new in MySQL these days beyond 5.1: the new 5.5 release, HandlerSocket, MariaDB, and of course Percona Server.
This is a follow-up to the enormously successful Percona Performance Conference in 2009.

Mark Callaghan has graciously accepted to be the closing keynote speaker for Percona Live: San Francisco!
Mark is best known for his work behind MySQL @ Facebook, where he and his team maintain one of the largest MySQL installations around. They also contribute back to the community with a publicly available branch of enhancements, improved diagnostic tools, and bug reports which help make MySQL better.
Mark’s keynote will be on “High-value Transaction Processing”. I assure you, this is a presentation not to be missed.
This looks like fun: Ruby on Ales. It’s March 24-25, 2011 in Bend Oregon (USA), and the tag line is Ruby, snow, and beer. Does it get any better than this?

Show notes for Episode 28:
Some feedback from previous podcasts:
Percona *is* releasing a 5.5 version - http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2010/12/20/mysql-5-5-8-and-percona-s...
Also, the performance schema is persistent (stored on disk)
according to Giuseppe Maxia, the Datacharmer.
* Update 1/6/2011 14:17 Eastern time - according to Mark Leith, only
the setup_ tables are persistent, so only some of
the data makes it to disk and is persistent.
Today we're announcing Percona Live - a one day event to be held at the Bently Reserve on February 16th in San Francisco. Live is our way of showcasing some of the awesome work that has been going into MySQL recently - and the theme of this event is Beyond MySQL 5.1.
Our first guest speaker is none other than Jeremy Zawodny. Jeremy is well known in the MySQL community having been the original author of High Performance MySQL 1st Ed. He will be presenting on how Craigslist has already upgraded to MySQL 5.5 - and are running on Fusion-io SSDs in production.

[Read more]O’Reilly’s 2011 edition of the MySQL conference has an expanded agenda, with good representation from Postgres, CouchDB, MongoDB, and others. Take a look at the full schedule listing, which is being filled out as talks are approved and the speakers verify that they’ll give the session.
I am certainly looking forward to this year’s event. A tremendous amount of progress has landed in GA versions of open-source databases this year. To name just a couple, there’s a new version of Postgres (9.0) with built-in replication and many more improvements; there’s MySQL 5.5 GA; there’s the HandlerSocket NoSQL interface to MySQL; Drizzle has a beta release; and the list goes on. I believe that this conference will have balanced and representative coverage of what’s really important to users. …

[Read more]Hello Birmingham!
It’s past Sunday midnight and I’m stuck in my room in the last couple hours finishing my slides for my masterclass tomorrow. Turns out that I’m presenting the very first session of the conference at 9am. I wish there is a keynote instead so that I could grab one more hour of sleep (it’s going to be deep into the night back home in Canada). Strange that the keynote was moved to Wednesday — I hope UKOUG has really good reason for that!
My two hours masterclass will start at the same time as Tom Kyte’s a-la keynote session — what a competition. On the other hand, there is no other sessions in server technology so I expect that folks without interest of database development will automatically end up in my session. I’m in Hall 5 – quite large room. Is it the second biggest room after the Hall 1?
I will need to work hard to keep the audience… maybe I shouldn’t plan for any breaks to make …

[Read more]November is going to be a busy month for MySQL, conference-wise. There will be two fairly big events, organized by the independent Oracle User Groups in Germany (DOAG) and the UK (UKOUG).
On November 16th-18th, the DOAG Conference & Exhibition 2010 will take place in Nuremberg, Germany. This conference, which has been around for more than 20 years usually attracts a rather large audience -- more than 2000 visitors participated in the 2009 event and were able to listen to more than 300 individual sessions. For the first time, there will be a dedicated stream of presentations related to MySQL, which will be delivered by both Oracle employees as well as members of the MySQL community. You …
