Off to OSCON

I will be heading to my first OSCON next week where I will be presenting MySQL Proxy: from Architecture to Implementation in conjunction with Giuseppe Maxia .

As was written by Colin Charles Our booth is yours… Sun at OSCON , Sun/MySQL would appear to also have a reasonable turnout. So it will be good to see some old colleagues and friends, and hopefully meet some new contacts.

While I am based on the East Coast, I do also provide expert MySQL consulting for clients in any location. Should you like to find out more about my offerings covering Architecture, Performance, Scaling, Migration and Knowledge Transfer for MySQL Solutions, please Contact Me and I will arrange a time to meet next week.
