MySQL Camp 1 - 2006
Testing on the toilet
Yes you got it, even while in the restroom here at Google (you can’t say toilets here in the US, because that’s the device), Google keeps you occupied while standing or sitting with the writings of “Testing on the Toilet”.
MySQL Camp – Introductions & Comments
The great thing about this unconference, is the lack of total formal structure. For now , our first session we are having an open introduction of people, there are at good 60+ people here already, and people rolling in, and it’s great to hear people’s background, and also to bag Jeremy Cole at every opportunity.
Google update – another 2 mins later
I’m outside enjoying a very lovely Danish and Orange juice with Jay and Leslie, and like 3 motorised scooters and a guy on a skateboard goes past. Did I mention how cool this place is!
My own Googlewear
So like two minutes later, some official looking Google people come over and saw “Come on over and get your Google Shirt”. So before the last past is even cold, we have our own Googlewear.
Googlewear
Everybody here (that is not us visitors) are wearing Google shirts. It must be an official clothing label. So Sheeri says “Actually they are just extras, they have been hired for the day.
I’m at Google Mountain View
We have made it to MySQL Camp being held at Google Head Quarters in Mountain View California. Directions WOOT!!! So we are at the lobby reception of Building 40 , and I’m lounging back in a large green beanbag behind all the name tags, this is so cool, the problem is with all our technology, nobody yet has the capability to read the photos from a digital camera so I can upload it.
