The event is free (like in beer) for all participants but as seating is limited, registration is required.

Come to meet MySQL engineers and listen to them talking about new MySQL 8.0’s features. Some of Percona’s experienced staff will also deliver some talks on troubleshooting, architecture, …

And finally, Booking.com will also share their user experience with the audience.

What else to start the Fosdem Week-end in the best way ?

This year, I’ve the honor to organize just before the FOSDEM MySQL & Friends Devroom an extra pre-FOSDEM MySQL Day. This MySQL Day will take place the Friday just before FOSDEM’s week-end.

During that day, we will highlight MySQL 8.0 new features but not only.

Oracle’s MySQL Community Team is sponsoring this event. Seating is limited, so please register.

The event is free and the location is the same as the very popular MySQL & Friends Community Dinner.

You can register now on eventbrite.

This is the agenda:

This year, the MySQL & Friends Devroom will be held on Saturday 4th February 2017.

After having received a lot of submission (the highest amount ever!), with MySQL Community Team, we decided to organize and extra MySQL day that will take place at ICAB Incubator, 4 Rue des Pères Blancs in Brussels (same location as the MySQL Community Dinner). More to come on this day in a future blog post.

So back to the MySQL & Friends Devroom, the Committee high rated the following talks:

Hi all,

Fosdem’s organization announced today that our devroom will be hosted in room H. 1308 on Saturday, February 4th.

This room has a capacity of 148 seats, it’s the same room as last year.

Don’t forget to submit your talks !!

Hi all MySQL & Friends fans,

I’ve the pleasure to announce you that the CfP for MySQL & Friends Devroom for Fosdem 2017 is now open.

FOSDEM 2017 edition will be held February 4 and 5 in Brussels like every year since 2000.

The MySQL & Friends Devroom is back again on Saturday from 9.00AM.

What is FOSDEM? It stands for the “Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting.” It’s a free event that offers open-source communities a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate.

CfP is open until December 6th (St Nicolas)!

The submission can be done using https://fosdem.org/submit.

If you don’t have an account yet, …

Good news ! The MySQL & Friends Devroom has been accepted for Fosdem’s 2017 edition !

This event is a real success story for the MySQL ecosystem, the content, the speakers and the attendees are growing every year.

Fosdem’s organization left out som e long time participants to give other projects a chance as welll to be present at this massive event. Hopefully we were accepted as MySQL is present at Fosdem since the very first editions.

The 2017’s edition will take place 4th & 5th February in Brussels.

I’m currently forming the committee for this new edition and the CfP should open in some days. Stay tuned and prepare your trip to Belgium for the winter !

What about an hackathon to fix several issues in Innotop during this Fosdem 2016 edition ?

As the MySQL & Friends Devroom is on Saturday, Sunday would be the perfect day to find a nice place in the bar and work on resolving the open issues in Innotop to support MariaDB 10.1, MySQL 5.7…

If you are interested just send me a tweet (@lefred) and we can arrange this meeting.

FOSDEM is once again descending on the ULB in Brussels, and so again will there be a MySQL and Friends Devroom. Tradition calls for a MySQL and Friends Community Dinner, and we certainly aim not to disappoint this year!

Like last year, we’ll be renting the same private space to allow for easy socializing (at ICAB , more detailed directions below).

As such, prepare for an evening of food, drink and jolly conversation rivaling the great feasts of old. Disclaimer: Apart from jolliness, overindulgence on any account can not be blamed on the organizers of this event.
