MySQL Conference & Expo by jcannon on January 10, 2008 01:57PM

It's going to be a busy couple months in the open source industry, with a number of influential conferences convening over the next six months to discuss the latest issues, advances and topics facing OSS. More on those later, but I wanted to get something quick up on one in particular that Microsoft is participating in - the MySQL User Conference in April. Folks may remember our sponsorship in 2007, (Bryan has a good read on this) - and I'm happy to continue this support and participation.

As part of our sponsorship, we've negotiated a discount for registration we can extend to our community. If you're interested in attending, register at http://www.mysqlconf.com and enter code: mys08micr. This will give you a discount of 10% against the cost of your ticket....we hope to see you there.

PS. Thank you to our friends at MySQL, in particular Kaj Arno for the continued support. (Kaj - thanks for the calendar ;))

    I am curious to know if Microsoft is told, prior to the event, what rules there are regarding your sponsorship of the event, and participation given the fact you have a competing product.

    I know from working countless Linux World Expo shows where Microsoft was present that your displays were very professional, and you focused on the products that worked with other technologies, such as your Unix toolkit, and didn't bring up Windows technology at all.

    Just curious.

    David, good observation. In the course of sponsoring MySQL, we have conversations with the MySQL team regarding what specific technologies we can mutually highlight, versus what is, for instance, more competitive in nature. With MySQL, we have a great portfolio of interoperability through Visual Studio, usage of Wix (Windows Installer Technology) and deployment resources for Windows Server. To your point, you won't see us flying a SQL banner ;)
