Everybody can contribute to the MySQL Open Source Community. Here are some ideas:

• You can start with completely a MySQL Conference Survey form (those forms that we are all avoiding).
• You can download, evaluate and test newer versions of MySQL Products.
• You can contribute to the MySQL Forums to ask questions and even give answers.
• Log Bugs & Enhancements on MySQL Products.
• Write about your experiences with MySQL in a Blog and add your Blog to PlanetMySQL. With now over 100 feeds, if everybody wrote something about MySQL in the next year, we would have over 1000 feeds next conference.
• Contribute your thoughts (via wiki), MySQL products, code snippets and examples to MySQL Forge (thanks Mike)
• You can even contribute to the MySQL Source Code.

If you are passionate about MySQL and you are attending the MySQL User Conference, then jump into the Open Source MySQL Community.
