MySQL Customer Conference

I just wrapped up the MySQL Customer Conference in London. It was geared toward the High End crowd who consider a 15 Gigabyte database "small" but it was still very informative. They did a great job of letting everyone know that MySQL is the wave of the future, evident in this tag-cloud photo (click for a larger version):

 

 

It's good to see PHP displayed prominently as well, especially since the conference was full of DBA's who complained about the poor SQL statements written by developers. But I didn't take it personally, they never worked with me.

Afterward a large number of people went to a post-conference bar Meetup. It was a Meetup meet up, apparently people here actually use meetup.com. There I was lucky enough to chat with a chap I met at an O'Reilly Open Source Converence (OSCON) in Portland a few years back. It's a small world.

Powering the Web Economy

Chris Alan will be in London for the MySQL European Customer Conferences 2008 on Thursday October 23rd. The main focus will be impacts on the Web. This will be the first overseas conference attended by Chris Alan and it looks promising.
