FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas, and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in
Brussels.

The MySQL Devroom aims to provide a dedicated space for presentations covering the most popular open source database and celebrate the 30th anniversary of MySQL.

Practical

General details

  • The default duration for talks is 25 minutes including discussion (20 + 5).
  • If you plan to register your proposal in several tracks to increase your chances, don’t! Register your talk once, in the most accurate track.
  • There will be a fringe event, the preFOSDEM MySQL Belgian Days (January 30 and 31), and submitted talks may also be accepted for this event.
  • The MySQL devroom is subject to the same code of conduct as FOSDEM (see below).

For accepted talks

  • You will receive an email to tell you that we accept your proposal
  • Expect additional emails with more instructions

For rejected talks

  • As you can see the amount of tracks is minimal, however, rejected talks have a chance to be selected for the preFOSDEM MySQL Belgian Days.
  • In any case, you will receive an email.

Desirable topics

The MySQL devroom aims to host talks about MySQL and connected projects.

The talks can cover the following subjects:

  • Developer talks (developer using MySQL)
  • Developer talks (developer hacking MySQL)

Marketing or closed source software talks won’t be accepted. Keep in mind FOSDEM’s spirit

FOSDEM 2023 MySQL Devroom – extra info

Hi all,

As you know the CfP for the devroom has been open and you may have noticed that we have only half a day that we also need to share.

Therefore, we will have only 4 sessions and they should look like this:

We didn’t decide yet which of the two colors will be for which project.

Due to the very low number of sessions, we will not attempt to compose a selection committee.

Managing a committee to find the candidates, collect their decisions, communicate and especially ask for votes (and yes often these are very busy people) is a time consuming process.

For the committee, reviewing the proposed sessions is a lengthy procedure and agreeing on 16 sessions is already very complicated so only for 4…

However, you may have also noticed that there will be two pre-FOSDEM MySQL days. We will check the proposed FOSDEM MySQL Devroom session to see if there is any content that could be presented at these pre-FOSDEM MySQL days. I will then contact the speakers and invite them.

Don’t forget to submit inspiring sessions, we look forward to reading them !

See you soon in Belgium !

FOSDEM MySQL Community Dinner – Friday 2 Feb 2018 – Tickets Now Available!

2 Comments
FOSDEM is back in town, folks, and as usual, there will there be a MySQL and Friends Devroom. At this point, we can’t really remember what came first, was it the annual dinner or the devroom? Our memories of the past few years are particularly hazy on that…  Can’t imagine why.

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.

Book your tickets now!!!

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.
