Recap of CPOSC 2009, plus slides

Октябрь 19th, 2009

Yesterday I attended CPOSC 2009. The conference was great. It was very well run, and I liked the sessions. I would definitely attend this conference again, and will recommend that Percona sponsor it next year. I attended the following talks:

  • Stop Worrying and Start Monitoring with Nagios (Andrew Libby)
  • DRBD, Network Raid, High Availability and General Awesomeness (Brian Gorka)
  • MySQL Performance Tuning for non-DBAs (Tom Clark)
  • Wonderful Desktop Tricks, and Aesthetics (Seth Jerome)
  • Jump Start Django: The Web Framework for Perfectionists with Deadlines (Rob Yates)
  • Watching and Manipulating Your Network Traffic (Josiah Ritchie)

And then of course I gave my own talk on Maatkit (slides). I didn’t follow the slides. I took a quick poll of who was interested in learning about making an open-source project that can support a full-time employee, and nobody was, so I skipped that and talked about what the tools can do.

In meta-news, it seemed that a lot of people already knew about Maatkit, and Percona’s name and open-source software (high-performance versions of the MySQL database server, XtraDB storage engine) seemed pretty well known too. Someone asked if Percona can support a MySQL Cluster project that has stalled with another vendor, and I was happy to say we can. Several people complimented Percona’s training, which is really a compliment to Morgan Tocker.

Speaking at CPOSC 2009

Октябрь 6th, 2009

CPOSC 2009

I’ll be attending and presenting at the 2009 Central Pennsylvania Open-Source Conference. My session is on Maatkit. I see Tom Clark has a session on MySQL performance! I hope to see you there — I’ve really become a fan of these regional conferences.

By the way, I’ve also created a speaker badge by adapting a wallpaper someone else made — you can find it on the sidebar of my blog if you’re also a speaker.

Speaking about Maatkit at CPOSC

Август 30th, 2009

I’m going to present on Maatkit at the CPOSC conference in central Pennsylvania on Saturday, October 17th 2009. I’ll give an overview of the toolkit, which is no longer an easy task in a single session. I see a number of other interesting sessions have been accepted. It looks like it’ll be a good conference.
