MySQL & Friends at FOSDEM 2012

2012 is near... and so is the next FOSDEM edition !

This year again, MySQL will be represented by its Community.
If you want to discuss with friend's of MySQL it's the place to be in February !

Like every year, FOSDEM takes place the first week-end of February in Brussels.

The MySQL and Friends devroom is Room H.1309 (150 seats). We will have the room on Sunday 5th February 2012, all day.

We are organizing a MySQL & Friends dinner on Saturday night, more to come later on this.

If you want to propose a talk (you are in fact invited to propose one !), the deadline is December 26th.
Like we did on past editions, as soon as the talks are submitted, we will ask everyone to vote on the talks via Twitter or email.

Propose your talk now() here.

Thank you and see you soon in Brussels to talk MySQL and/or have a nice Belgian Beer ;-)

Speaking at Percona Live London 2011

If you want to meet me, I will be speaking at Percona Live in London this October

I will be presenting during the two days, on Monday Oct 24th during the tutorials I will present the MySQL DBA Swiss army knife. This is a technical session about the daily tools you must control as MySQL DBA. You will have your hands in the oil as we say in French and we gonna discover together how useful and powerful are those tools.
We will cover different topics like performance, maintenance, ...

On Tuesday I will present two talks during the conference:

1. Deploy MySQL like a devops sysadmin
2. MySQL partitioning: the Spider solution

I hope to see you there and if you plan to join PLUK 2011 and you still don't register, I can provide you reduction voucher code, just contact me by email or on twitter.

Fedora on mac book (air) : wireless and kernel 2.6.40-4.fc15

If like me you are using Fedora on your mac book, after the week-end and in case of reboot, your wifi should not work any more :(

Good, news, it's easy to fix, just add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl-blacklist.conf

blacklist bcma

Restart and enjoy wifi back ;-)

ps: of course you need to use:

kmod-wl-2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64-5.60.48.36-2.fc15.6.x86_64
kmod-wl-5.60.48.36-2.fc15.6.x86_64
