Dolphins, now & beyond – FOSDEM 2010

I had the honor of opening the day at the MySQL developer room at FOSDEM 2010 where I had a chance to talk about the MySQL product and community, now and what’s happening moving forward.

For those that missed the talk, my slides are available online at Slideshare however slides never due justice to some of the jokes including:

  • Why think two dimensionally, how about the Green Pill
  • Emerging Breeds with performance enhancing modifications
