Speaking at Surge 2010
OmniTI’s Surge conference is looking really good — and I’m going to be speaking there. The CfP just closed, so the list of speakers is still growing, but it already includes impressive names such as Neil J. Gunther. So far, this speaker list has zero fluff, and reminds me of the Percona Performance Conference. I’ll be talking about how not to shard your systems. Sharding is no fun and it’s costly. If you don’t have to do it — and many applications don’t need to, with orders-of-magnitude performance improvements in MySQL — you should not.
I take it you didn’t get or read the email that said, please hold off on announcing your involvement in Surge until all speakers have been added to the event!

I think the email I got just said “wait until you appear on the website.” I saw they Tweeted my speaker-ship before I blogged about it. You should blog your own session if it’s announced, too!
