The MySQL UC has a much different feel.... approaching a bit more of a firehose, and perhaps at different audiences.... I certainly wouldn't be doing a 6-8hr NDB tutorial at OpenSQL Camp :) But I've also never been an end user at a MySQL UC, always a developer *of* MySQL related things. But missing Portland OpenSQL camp is certainly the most missed event this year for me.... perhaps I need to organise an Australian one :) One benefit of OpenSQL camp (the first one that I went to, in Virginia) was that it was a lot more intimate – very much as if a group of people had run off camping to talk databases.

Sounds good to me. We should bring it up on the mailing list when the time is right. I'm 100% happy to just attend and not organize if others are willing to do it! I hadn’t thought about Boston.

Cabral Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:38:35 +0000 http://www.xaprb.com/blog/?p=1298#comment-17292 Baron, I mentioned to several people that Boston next year is a very good possibility. The Pythian office in Boston is actually big enough for the event, and there are plenty of other spaces around the Boston area as well. In case you've forgotten, I also helped found OpenSQLCamp, and have helped out with all 3 of them. I'm pretty quiet about it, but I do have information about when things were done for all three conferences. In fact, we used a lot of information from the 1st OpenSQLCamp in planning this one -- particularly about quantities of food. Baron,

I couldn't agree more. Someone at opensql camp said there is an inverse relationship between the cost of a mysql conference and the quality of that conference. I couldn’t agree more.
