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!

Technocation, Inc. — a US not-for-profit providing educational resources for IT professionals –  is sponsoring a donor campaign for MySQLCamp II, to take place from August 23-24, 2007 at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, NY, USA.

By sponsoring MySQL Camp, you will not only help out the community and get a tax deduction, but your name and company's name will …

Today I upgraded the blog software at sheeri.com (and sheeri.net and sheeri.org). Please let me know if you find something that doesn’t work as expected — awfief@gmail.com.

At the MySQL Users Conference, my good friend Mark Atwood (creator of the free Amazon S3 Storage Engine) mentioned that any site with a login should have OpenID as an option.

Mark, I upgraded for you! I was using Wordpress 1.5.2, now I’m at the “latest” version. Anyway, this is just to let folks know that if you so choose, you may now use OpenId if you wish to login and make comments.

Of course, I do not require login (and have a great spam filter) so that’s just another choice you have.

Well, I have a lot to say about MySQL Camp, but for now, I just want to say thank you to Jay Pipes for organizing the Camp, and to Google for hosting and feeding us, and to MySQL for support.

I have a few lost and found items — if you lost or found something, please contact me by e-mailing me at awfief@gmail.com and I will see to it that you get your item back, or that found items get to the right place.

LOST:
white 4-port USB hub

FOUND:
a charger (looks like it’s for a phone, it’s small-duty)
small stack of Avery blank printer sheets, for file folder labels
Sunglasses

If you ended up with something that’s not yours, or are missing something, contact me and we’ll do as much as we can to get items to their owners.
