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!

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.
