Percona Live Amsterdam and MariaDB Developer Meeting 2016: Tip to Stay Dry

Or should I say "to avoid getting soaked"...

The Amsterdam weather forecasts for next week is out and even if it looks good for the Percona Live MySQL and (No)SQL Conference (Monday to Wednesday) and for the MariaDB Developer Meeting (Thursday to Saturday), it could still change (or you might suffer the rain in the week-end):

Parallel Replication: Post on Booking.com Blog, Talk at Percona Live Amsterdam 2016, and more

I have a new blog post on blog.booking.com describing MariaDB 10.1 Optimistic Parallel Replication (with benchmark results):

Booking.com talks at Oracle Open World 2016

If you are in San Francisco for Oracle Open World, here is the list of talks by Booking.com:

• MySQL’s State of the Dolphin and Customer Experiences:
  Experience from Nicolai Plum, Booking.com
• MySQL System Design and Operations at Booking.com
• MySQL X Protocol: Talking to MySQL Directly over the Wire
• MySQL Architecture Cookbook

I am not there myself, but feel free to go meet my colleagues and ask them questions you have about MySQL and Booking.com.

And hopefully see you in 2 weeks at Percona Live Amsterdam.

Please register to the Percona Live Amsterdam Community Dinner 2016

Percona Live Amsterdam is in 3 weeks, and on the evening of the second day of the conference (Tuesday October 4th 2016), there is the traditional Community Dinner.

As last year, Booking.com is hosting the event and as last year, canal boats will bring attendees from the conference venue to Booking.com headquarters.

This event involves some planning: Percona needs to arrange for canal boats and Booking.com needs to order food and drinks and plan for catering staff.  In both cases, too much or not enough is bad for obvious reasons, and this is why we ask you to register.

The normal sales end soon.  After that, commitments need to be made and we will have less flexibility for accommodating more people.

So please help us make the event a success by registering to the Percona Live Community Dinner.

And as a reminder, you can see a picture from last year below, more pictures from the event and boat trip on Percona facebook album.
