Drizzle Day, Fri 13 Apr 2012, Santa Clara
The Drizzle team would like to welcome everyone to our 4th Drizzle Day!
When: Friday, April 13th 2012 from 9:30 am
Where: Cypress room, 2nd floor, Hyatt Regency Santa Clara (5101 Great America Parkway)
What: Drizzle Day is a day to learn about Drizzle, how to use Drizzle, migrating to Drizzle and contributing to Drizzle. If you’re interested in a database for modern web applications, relational databases being deployed in the cloud, advanced replication techniques (such as crash safe replication, multi-sourced replication and being able to consume the replication stream in your application), AlsoSQL (a HTTP JSON interface to a relational database), testing and performance – then Drizzle day is for you!
Price: Admission is free, however we recommend that you consider making a voluntary donation between 50 - 150 USD to our SPI account to cover for the costs of this conference: click here to donate. Note that if you are expensing your travel and Percona Live attendance with your employer anyway, you can also expense this payment as a conference fee.
Lunch: - Attendees of Drizzle Day are invited to join the (free) lunch with the simultaneously arranged SkySQL and MariaDB solutions day. Thank you to SkySQL for their hospitality!
Please let us know of diets and allergies in your RSVP.
Registrations: Please RSVP at henrik@drizzle.org so we can plan the space and refreshments.
Sponsor: We are grateful for having Percona sponsoring a large part of the costs of this day, and supporting this event by marketing it as an official side-conference to the Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo. Thank you!
For best effect, make sure to also attend the Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo, arranged in the same location during this same week. There are great Drizzle talks and BoFs also during those days, we have a Drizzle booth in the exhibition hall, and your favorite Drizzle developers are also speaking on other MySQL and cloud topics.
Sponsor: Thank you to Technocation for sponsoring this conference with their generous grant, that helps cover costs of arranging the conference.
Technocation is a non-profit that supports education, workshops, lectures and demonstrations for IT professionals that want to develop their skills. You should check out their OurSQL Podcasts for Drizzle and MySQL news.
Schedule
Reflecting the fact that Drizzle 7 has now been out for a year, and Drizzle 7.1 will be released before the conference, the content for this Drizzle Day is geared more towards end users than before. Toward the end of the day we also have content that might interest potential contributors and you can end the day by talking to Drizzle developers who are happy to guide you in both using Drizzle as well as becoming an active community member.
