MySQL Conference & Expo Sessions and Tutorials now online

I just noticed that the schedules for the Sessions and Tutorials of our upcoming MySQL Conference & Expo (which takes place on April 23rd-26th in Santa Clara, California) is now online. The program looks very promising and I am particularly excited that some of the sessions that I have helped to arrange made it into the final program:

• openBC / Xing: Growing Pains by Michael Otto and Erick Dennis from ePublica
• PrimeBase XT: Design and Implementation of a Transactional Storage Engine by Paul McCullagh (the author of the PBXT storage engine

There is a ton of other interesting sessions to choose from. Kudos to Jay and the O'Reilly conference team! This is an excellent lineup of sessions and speakers and I am looking forward to being there this year. I had to skip last year's conference, as it collided with the arrival of Lena, our first daughter

On a side note I am quite busy with helping to arrange the .ORG-Pavilion for the exhibiton floor of the conference. As last year, we will provide free booth space for community projects that are based on or support MySQL. I have already contacted a number of projects and the presence of the following ones is very likely already:

• Drupal
• phpMyAdmin
• XAMPP
• Sphinx FULLTEXT Search Engine
• dotProject

I am working with a number of other projects but we still have booth space available. Is there any particular OSS project you know I should approach? Which OSS project with a MySQL relation would you like to see there? Let me know.
