Sheeri and others are organizing another incarnation of OpenSQL Camp in October in Boston. You ought to go! It’s relevant to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and lots of the newer generation of databases—MongoDB, Cassandra, and so on.
I’m a founder, author of several books, and creator of various open-source software. I write about topics such as technology, mindfulness, and fitness, and I tweet at @xaprb. More about me.
