Hmm, long time no post! But I have the perfect excuse: I've actually been on vacation the past two weeks... Now I am back at work and busy trying to make a dent in the mail pile that has accumulated while I was gone. In addition to that, I am assisting with the organization of our MySQL Developer Meeting in Heidelberg, which will take place in September. See Kaj's blog post for more details about it. I am in charge of our community guests and really look forward to meeting most of our internal developers as well as community guests there! This is going to be a fun event.
In addition to that, I am applying the final touches to my upcoming presentation about our ongoing community activities: "Opening the doors (and windows) of the Cathedral", which will be held at the FrOSCon in St. Augustin, Germany this weekend. My colleague Giuseppe will also give a talk about "Logging and monitoring a database server" and last but not least Susanne will give her famous "PostgreSQL versus MySQL - Venus versus Mars" talk. I really enjoyed last year's FrOSCon, it was a very relaxed and well organized event, with many great sessions. This years program looks promising, too - so if you happen to be in the area, make sure to stop by!
Oh, and if you happen to be around the New York City area today and tomorrow, consider checking by the MySQL Camp II, which will start today! There may still be some free seats available, make sure to check the site for registration instructions.
