MySQLCamp is a free event available to the public, though geared towards the MySQL Community.  There is no fee for any participant, and workshops are presented by participants and chosen by the community. Last year, Google was kind enough to sponsor all of the logistics, from food to meeting space.  This year, Polytechnic University is providing the location -- and we're opening up sponsorship for the rest!
