The FOSDEM organization just confirmed that again this year the ecosystem of your favorite database will have its Devroom !
More info to come soon, but save the day: 2 & 3rd February 2019 in Brussels !
It seems the MySQL & Friends Devroom (MariaDB, Percona, Oracle, and all tools in the ecosystem) will be held on Saturday (to be confirmed).
Stay tuned !
Following a great tradition of dining together in style with members from all over the community, we have rented a by now familiar private space at ICAB, more detailed directions below.
A couple of things changed compared to the last couple of years. The community dinner will take place on Friday night 2 February, following the Pre FOSDEM MySQL Day, both in the same location.
The listed ticket price includes a selection of Belgian Speciality Beers and food, which will be typical Belgian style (no ‘Italian’ Pizza!)
If you have any dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free,…) please let us know ahead of time when buying the ticket as we need to inform the caterer who will make the necessary accommodations for you.
We’re looking forward to meeting you all again at Fosdem and the Community Dinner. See you then!
Wondering how to get there?
The venue itself is located very close to the VUB. A map is displayed below to help you plan your route.
The total distance from the heart of Brussels, Grand Place, is about 20 minutes by public transport, along the route of metro line 5 (closest stop: Petillon). Be sure to use Google/Apple/Your Preferred Maps to determine the best way to get there, though as both tram and bus lines are also an option.
The schedule of the next edition of the MySQL & Friends Devroom is now on-line also on the official FOSDEM website.
As you can see we by shrinking the last two talks (no break) we were able to add one extra session. The committee selected the next one, which mean I will have the honour to present again at FOSDEM too.
I hope you will enjoy this day. Don’t forget the MySQL Community Dinner (more to come soon about this on this website) and the extra free day organized by the MySQL Team on Friday (you need to register).
Here is a copy of the schedule, a full content of your favourite open source database and its friends/forks:

The FOSDEM MySQL & Friends Community Dinner 2017 is sold out. In the first 24 hours of opening up the registration for the dinner, we sold more than 40 of the 63 total tickets!
I quickly wanted to take some time again to thank our sponsors, who help keep this event possible and affordable:
Wondering how to get there from Fosdem?
The venue itself is located very close to the VUB. You can find the route to get there right here.
The total distance from the ULB campus is about 2.3km, so you could walk there, but it might be more comfortable to take the tram.
Tram 7 and 25 depart from the “Cambre Etoile” stop regularly (every few minutes), and will take you up to “Hansen-Soulie”, where you need to get out, and walk the remaining 200m. The tram ride takes about 9 minutes.
Hi dear MySQL Community,
I would like to start this post by saying thanks to our sponsors:
Unfortunately, we are missing one sponsor and to not increase the ticket price but at the same time keep the level of quality for food then promised and the same diversity for our world famous Belgian beer patrimony, we are still looking for one or two extra sponsors.
If you are interested, please contact @gryp, @dim0, @tomdecooman or myself and we already thank you in advance.
Don’t forget to register for the Community Dinner on eventbrite !
Other Sponsors:
ICAB Brussels – Business and Technology Incubator

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 !)
