One free OSCON 2008 ticket on offer!

Do you want to go to OSCON but can’t afford the entrance fee? I can help. Being on the program committee, I receive a freebie ticket to hand out. Simply answer this question (provided by Brian): Where does name of the TINA storage engine come from, and which engine is it actually when used in MySQL?

Be sure to either login to Livejournal when you reply, or have some other way to identify yourself – an anonymous comment can’t be contacted, and thus you wouldn’t be able to win the prize…

  1. I can’t go to OSCON, however I would like to know if I’m correct…

    Tina Monty’s daughter I think. I also believe that the storage engine is another name for Falcon.

    Thank you.

  2. Nop.

  3. I’m pretty sure that I know the answer…. but I could not possibly go even if I did have an OSCon ticket.

  4. How I’d love to go too… I know the answer. The best thing about being there would be seeing you, Brian, etc…

  5. It’s the name of Brian Aker’s (I think) girlfriend at the time, for a CSV storage engine.

    (and holy crap I’d just have to adjust a flight to go, I’ll already be in the country)

  6. Well done. Alrighty.

    Can’t cover your hotel or anything else, you’re fully on your own for any of that.
    Let me know if that’s ok and your flights work out, then I’ll email you the details for getting the magic ticket.

  7. “Tina” derives from “Christina”, Brian’s girlfriend at the time of coding the engine.
