It is conference time for me. I just came home from FOSDEM 2010<\/a> where we had a booth and I gave a talk. At the end of the month there will be a company meeting in Iceland for Monty Program, followed by Open Source Days 2010<\/a> where I will also be speaking. And then in April there is the MySQL User Conference<\/a>. With two additional talks given at local user groups end of last year, I think I’ve about filled my quota for now, I feel quite fortunate that it turned out that I will not also be presenting at the UC! (I do not have a natural talent for speaking, and tend to need to spend quite a lot of time in preparations.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a booth at FOSDEM turned out really well I think, as I got to talk to a lot of different people that passed by the booth. I also had a very nice dinner with the PostgreSQL people where I learned a lot about the internals of that database. As well as dinners with people from the MySQL world, also with lots of interesting discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all of the people that I met at FOSDEM. It was fun and inspiring to meet you, looking forward to the next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing strikes me as I am piecing together the mandatory “MariaDB feature list” for my next talk. It seems people tend to focus a lot on the extra features MariaDB has over MySQL. But there is another aspect that I think is just as important: MariaDB is creating an open framework where community developers can work together on new development. This is something that has been missing in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is easy to focus on a concrete list of features, whereas the idea of an abstract framework is much harder to present as more than buzzword talk. But I will try to get it into my next talk, as I think ultimately both are of equal importance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
