FOSDEM 2021 MySQL Devroom: the Committee

2 Comments

The MySQL Devroom is pleased to announce the committee that will decide on the talks to be presented for this totally new format of the next FOSDEM edition. Indeed, if you are not yet aware of it, FOSDEM 2021 will be an online event. Every year we are overwhelmed with submissions and it’s the committee that has the thankless task of deciding on the final selections and agenda.

Every year, we try to have a mix of experienced members knowing the process of the devroom talks rating and expect them to mentor the new members.

This year’s committee members are:

Let me introduce them (not sure it’s needed ;-) ) and as usual, don’t hesitate to thank them (this year a virtual thank has the same value as a drink at FOSDEM’s bar).

She focuses on ways to break databases but is also talented at finding bugs in all your software.
