MySQL vs Percona
The 2010 edition of the MySQL Conference & Expo is already announced to take place in Santa Clara, CA on April 12-15.
Although schedule has not been published yet, obviously it is the most important event for MySQL professionals. The conference gathers over 2,000 open source and database enthusiasts from around the world.
At the same time Percona’s Director of Consulting has announced dates of Percona Performance Conference 2010. Of course it is April 12-13 🙂 . Neither place nor schedule have been unveiled yet. But last year it was the same building as MySQL Conference & Expo. In spite of it is not 100% MySQL related event, definitely some people will be pulled away from MySQL conference.
However Percona guys take their conferences very seriously. They have launched PerconaTV where video and slides of PPC 2009 are available.
By the way a lot of presentations and some videos are made available from MySQL Conference & Expo 2009 too.
These two events at one week could be a good reason to visit California. Looking forward to seeing additional details on both conferences.
