Call for Papers – MySQL Miniconf @ LCA2007 Sydney

I’ll be at LCA 2007 in Sydney in January… Stewart and Colin are coming also, and quite possibly Brian. We’re setting up a MySQL miniconf this time, and of course we would like to see some items from people who are not MySQL employees! See here:

This is a call for participation in the MySQL Miniconf which will be part of the linux.conf.au (LCA) 2007 conference in Sydney, Australia.

This is the first conf of its type to be held in the Southern hemisphere and we are looking forward to participants from areas around Australia, New Zealand, South-East Asia, India and South America.

Any topic based around MySQL is allowed. Types of presentations that we’re after, include:

  • Conference presentations (30 – 45 minutes)
  • Tales of Deployment (10 – 30 minutes) – these are designed to show people how MySQL has been implemented in the real world, which will comprise of a mash-up of a case study and a discussion session.
