MySQL UC keynotes: Mitch Kapor & Mark Shuttleworth

One slightly older than the other. One credited with inventing the spreadsheet, the other possibly the first geek in space.

These days, Mitch “Lotus 1-2-3” Kapor is very involved in online collaboration of the kind that Wikipedia displays.
Mark Shuttleworth, South African cosmonaut and founder of Thawte, is behind one of the fastest growing Linux distributions, Ubuntu.

Two very interesting individuals… and they’ll both be speaking at our conference! See also the announcement on the O’Reilly site.

Mark will be flying in with his own jet, but for us commoners, O’Reilly has secured a deal with United Airlines which can save you up to 10% on your air fare. See MySQL UC hotel/travel info for details on that.
