Keynotes
The conference committee managed to get Rick Falkvinge of the Swedish Pirate Party to speak. I heard him speak at OSCON 2007. What I took away from his talk is copyright is evil. Copyright is the excuse industries (i.e. the music industry) are using as a tool to justify monitoring all of your communications. Not only do they want to monitor you, but prohibit certain kinds of communications. What it comes down to is your privacy vs. copyright. It's scary stuff.
The second part of the keynote was a panel consisting of a representative from MySQL, Sun, flickr, …

Okay, so I have 2 distinct masters and each master has its own
slave. I want to consolidate the data in both slaves but I don't
want to have a multi-master replication. Since slaves cannot have
dual masters, then I cannot do a multi-slave replication.
I spoke to Stewart Smith in the MySQL Conference and he confirmed
that MySQL does not have a mulit-slave replication and he
mentioned that I could just do change master to point to the
other slave and then change master again... but there will be
latency.

MySQL Sandbox - More of a demo.
Applied Partitioning Scaling Your Database System - Sucks! I can

MySQL Performance Under a Microscope - Nice and entertaining.
Comparison of different techniques.
Query Cache Session - Interesting. Nice and clear presentation to
a topic I usually misunderstood.
