OK, I am not getting too much people feedback on what would they like to hear about on MySQL Users Conference, so I went ahead and submitted few presentation ideas. I do not expect all of them would be accepted, furthermore it would be hard to prepare so many good presentations if they are so [...]
MySQL Northern European Customer Conference
