BlackRay at the MySQL Conference

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Last Minute Changes! BlackRay will be present at the O’Reilly MySQL Conference April 12-14 in Santa Clara, CA with both a presentation and a booth!

At booth 112, there will be a chance to chat with some developers and maybe, if you mention you saw it on the Blog, a chance to snatch a BlackRay T-Shirt.

Also, Felix will be doing a talk on using BlackRay as a storage engine – or at least why it is not trivial to do so.

We’d be happy to see you guys in Santa Clara and maybe go for a beer after the show! Feel free to contact us if you want to schedule a talk with us or if you have any comments!

Presentation from SAPO CodeBits in Lisboa online

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Our presentation at SAPO CodeBits is done, the videos will be posted on the codebits.eu website later. The presentation is again available for your viewing pleasure in OpenOffice , SWF, and PDF format.

A major focus of the presentation here is the imminent 0.10 release. While Thomas stayed in Munich fixing bugs and getting stuff up and running Souvik joined me here in Lisboa for a bit of networking, un-conferencing and chilling. With about 600 attendees and four stages in an old rope factory, the location is set up just perfect.

Also we have to say that SAPO CodeBits is an awesome conference format. The hacking contest, all night long, music and party. Plus, here things are free once you get accepted to the conference. Even Pizza, Coffee, Drinks, Chocolate and Energy Drinks – all just available. The crowd is very mixed, and the talks are all really interesting.

Here are some impressions from the CodeBits location…

Pictures from the Florida Linux Show

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

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.
