Want to go to MySQL Camp but can’t afford it?

It appears that Jeremy Cole (Proven Scaling) can, as he’s offering you a “free ride”. To be exact, he’s offering to pay for travel and accomodation. That’s pretty cool! Just meals and local transportation are on you (but the local trains are cheap, and what does cold pizza cost? 😉 But seriously, there’s free food on the Google campus anyway.

MySQL Camp will be held 10-12 November 2006 at Google HQ in Mountain View, California. It’ll bring together MySQL hackers and other interested parties. It’s not just about hard-core C coding: think nifty little tools, stored procedures, bug hunting skills… there’ll be really bright people there, specifically to spend time with other bright but less experienced people, and help them go further with the cool stuff.
Plus you’ll be able to say you visited Google and got the shirt! I’ve actually got a polo myself, and people at airports and elsewhere keep asking me if I work for Google 😉 There might also still be some “What’s Your Uptime?” MySQL t-shirts, and if there are I’m sure Jay will bring them along.

So anyway, see Jeremy’s Free Ride post for details and how to enter. I reckon it’s a great opportunity, all you need is the time and the motivation! You’ll want to be quick, the camp is soon anyway but entries for the free ride are closing shortly.
