As many of you know,
MySQL.com uses Phorum for their own support forums. Well, this year they have offered us free exhibit space in their .org Pavilion at the
MySQL Conference in Santa Clara, CA. It is a place at the conference for open source applications that use MySQL in some way. However, we have to get there and have a place to stay. That is where you, our great users, come in.
I have added a new drop down to the
donations page so that you can help us with this event. The most expensive thing is the flights from Europe. I am not sure right now if both Thomas and Maurice will be coming. Thomas has confirmed that he wants to come. That may depend on how much money we can raise. We don't have to have it all covered, but every little bit helps.
We will acknowledge everyone that helps with the effort here on the web site.
Thanks for your help.
Update! We have enough money collected that we are comfortable booking the rooms and flights.
dealnews.com, my employer, has agreed to pay for my travel (Thanks guys). Its not all covered, but we really want to thank those that have helped out so far.
For anyone in the San Jose area that would like to come by, you can get a free exhibit hall pass if you register now. [

Thanks to the follow sources, we have almost all the travel covered.
