The official deadline is end of day today, October 30 and so far, we have plenty of great submissions. However, there’s still an opportunity to get in your presentation. In particular, we’re looking for more technical presentations on topics like Scale-out, use of Ruby on Rails, use of .Net, High Availability and case studies that show how you’re using MySQL in production applications. It’s possible that the call for papers may be extended by a couple of days, but I recommend submitting something sooner rather than later. If there are more details required than you can complete right now, that’s ok. You can always send more information after the fact. And special thanks to those who submitted on-time or early. That makes the selection process much easier! Just a reminder, the conference will be held April 14-17 in Santa Clara, California. The registration for the conference will be live later this quarter. There will also be a full complement of tutorials, keynotes, technical sessions, exhibits, parties, birds-of-a-feather sessions, dot org projects and more. I’m sure it will be a heckuva fun event.
