The committee selecting the content for our devroom is not yet created and if you want to be part of this experience, just send me an email (candidate at mysqlandfriends dot eu) before Oct 20th .

If you want to join the Committee you have to align with the following conditions:

– planning to be present at FOSDEM
– having a link with MySQL’s Ecosystem
– have some time to review and rate talks
– be an ambassador for the event by promoting it

The Call for Paper is open, you can already submit your proposal using FOSDEM’s submission tool.

Marketing and sales talks are not welcome, focus on the engineering, the operations and of course the developers.

Don’t forget to specify the track (MySQL and Friends devroom) and set the duration to 20 mins (short but intense ;-) )!

Thank you, and see you soon in Brussels !

Hi all,

Fosdem’s organization relocated the MySQL & Friends Devroom from H.1308 to H.1309 (Van Rijn).

It’s the same building, just the door next to it.

MySQL will also have a stand in the H building. Don’t hesitate to visit it (I’ve heard there will be some Sakila Dolphins !)

This year, the MySQL & Friends Devroom will be held on Saturday 4th February 2017.

After having received a lot of submission (the highest amount ever!), with MySQL Community Team, we decided to organize and extra MySQL day that will take place at ICAB Incubator, 4 Rue des Pères Blancs in Brussels (same location as the MySQL Community Dinner). More to come on this day in a future blog post.

So back to the MySQL & Friends Devroom, the Committee high rated the following talks:

Update: After each talk, you have 5 mins for questions and we have a 5 mins buffer to swap speaker and video recording.

Hi all MySQL & Friends fans,

I’ve the pleasure to announce you that the CfP for MySQL & Friends Devroom for Fosdem 2017 is now open.

FOSDEM 2017 edition will be held February 4 and 5 in Brussels like every year since 2000.

The MySQL & Friends Devroom is back again on Saturday from 9.00AM.

What is FOSDEM? It stands for the “Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting.” It’s a free event that offers open-source communities a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate.

CfP is open until December 6th (St Nicolas)!

The submission can be done using https://fosdem.org/submit.

If you don’t have an account yet, you must create one entering your personal details like email that we will use to contact you.

Then, after login, you can create an Event and don’t forget to select “MySQL and Friends devroom” or your submission will be lost maybe for ever.

The duration for the talks are only 20 minutes ! (don’t forget to select it)

And finally don’t forget to add an abstract:

For people that doesn’t know it yet, MySQL & Friends Devroom is not the usual conference . Sales and Marketing talks are not welcome. Creativity and hard-code sessions are what we expect. If you have created tools or hacked MySQL, MariaDB or Percona Server, your history interests us and all the attendees as well.

Don’t hesitate to spread the word, we would like to receive even more submission than last year, we have a record to break !

You can find the names of the Committee members that will rate your talks on this page.

Enjoy them !
