Looking forward to Oracle OpenWorld 2014; visit us at Booth 2413!

I’m excited to once again be heading to San Francisco next week for Oracle OpenWorld, and also very pleased to have a booth there this year along with some great speakers from Percona.

The scope of Oracle OpenWorld 2014, which runs Sept. 28-Oct. 2, is enormous and there are several keynotes and sessions I’m looking forward to attending. Especially the talks focused on the areas of:

• • MySQL architecture and application development

• • Cloud and Big Data

• • Database administration and DevOps

• • High-Availability and Replication

• • Performance and Scalability

I also have the honor of speaking on the topic of “Practical MySQL Optimization.” Other sessions led by Percona staff include:

• • “MySQL Query Patterns, Optimized,” by Bill Karwin

• • “Schema Management: Versioning and Automation with Puppet and MySQL Utilities,” by Frederic Descamps

• • And BOF Sessions:
    • • “How to Create a Useful MySQL Bug Report,” by Valerii Kravchuk
    • • “MySQL and GIS,” by Alexander Rubin

All of us will, at one time or another, be at the Percona booth (Booth 2413), so please stop by and say “hello.” And while you’re there, register to win a new Kindle – the Fire HDX 8.9 Tablet.

We’ll also be raffling off passes to Percona Live London (Nov. 3-4), the annual Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo 2015 (PLMCE, April 13-16) and the new OpenStack Live 2015 conference, which runs alongside PLMCE April 13-14 – also at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara & the Santa Clara Convention Center.

Let me know if you’ll be attending and do be sure to stop by our booth and say “hello!” I hope to see you there!
