This is just remind you that the first Hamburg MySQL User Group meeting will take place on Monday, 6th of March, 19:00. For more details please see my initial announcement and join our mailing list!
Currently, we have about 30 people that will attend. I will give a short general presentation about MySQL (the company), later Kai will give a presentation on MySQL Cluster.
If you'd like to join us, please register via meetup.com or OpenBC. Looking forward to meeting you!
Later today I will be heading off to the sixth Free and Open source
Software Developers' European Meeting in Brussels, Belgium. I
look forward to the various sessions and meeting with the members of other
Open Source projects, especially the folks from the openSUSE team.
I hope this meeting allows me to build closer relations to other
OSS projects that use or support MySQL in any way.
See you there! After having checked into my hotel tonight, I'll
try to find my way to Le Roy d'Espagne to meet with others that arrived
today.
