We are excited to be at another North American un-conference again so shortly after the Florida Linux Show. This time the OpenSQL Camp set up their tent in Portland, and Felix will be attending the camp.
A major topic is the upcoming 0.10 release as well as the roadmap towards the expected 1.0 GA release in March 2010. All questions are welcome, and of course we will bring some goodies as well. See you in Portland next weekend!
[Update]
Some pictures from the camp.
On October 24th Frank and Mike were present at the Florida Linux Show 2009 in Orlando. An interested crowd was quite eager to lern about BlackRay and the people behind it. We gave away lanyards, T-Shirts and pretty flyers.
Frank also held a talk in the conference, which was well received by a medium sized audience. The slides are available below, and are unmodified from the OpenSQL Camp talk earlier this year.
Sorry for the picture quality though, they were taken with Frank’s mobile phone.
We are excited to report that we have been kindly invited to present at the Florida Linux Show 2009 in beautiful Orlando on October 24th. Frank and Mike will be exhibiting the engine, and there is going to be a 40 Minute presentation as well. See you all there and don’t forget to ask for your free lanyard!
Thank you all for the good feedback at the FrOSCon/OpenSQL Camp 2009. We have put our BlackRay presentation online (as SWF, PDF and OpenOffice Document) so you can look at what you may have missed at the conference.
Please feel free to contact any of us with any comments or suggestions you may have.
See you at FrOSCon and the next OpenSQL Camp.
