Introducing: Community Voting The Call for Papers for the fifth annual Percona Live Data Performance Conference and Expo (formerly Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo) taking place April 18-21, 2016, in Santa Clara, California, is now officially open!  Speaker proposals are welcome on a variety of related technologies, including MySQL, MongoDB, Amazon Web Services (AWS), OpenStack, Redis, Docker and many more. Focus areas can include Devops, High Availability, Programming, Web Services, Optimization and other areas of interest. Breakout sessions are 50 minutes in length, including a Q&A. Tutorial sessions are focused on an immediate and practical application of in-depth knowledge and are targeted at a level between a training class and a conference breakout session. Tutorial speakers should assume that attendees will have laptops to work through detailed and potentially hands-on presentations. Tutorials are typically three hours in length, including a Q&A, but submissions will also be accepted for full-day, 6-hour tutorials. In an effort to involve the community in the selection of speaking sessions, Percona has implemented a community voting process. After a speaker submits a proposal they are provided a link to share with the community asking for their vote. The more highly ranked proposals will continue onto the next phase of the voting process with the conference committee. Selected speakers will receive a complimentary full conference pass.  Percona MySQL 101 Videos Available for Purchase The MySQL 101 track was introduced at the 2015 Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo in Santa Clara, California. The Percona Live Conference Committee saw an increase in demand for people with MySQL DBA skills to be able to help with the day-to-day management of MySQL databases. In response to this demand, a MySQL crash course for developers, systems administrators and other technical resources was added to the official Percona Live conference program. This 2-day MySQL 101 track, led by Percona MySQL technical experts, took attendees through the fundamentals of MySQL DBA tools and techniques. The goal of this educational course was to send attendees back ready to quickly and correctly take care of the day-to-day and long-term management of their MySQL environment. Completion of this course enabled the attendees to combine their daily non-DBA work with practical performance optimization techniques to resolve problems in environments not managed by a dedicated MySQL DBA. Due to the overall success of the MySQL 101 track and the continued demand for this type of education, Percona has packaged these courses together in the official “Percona Live MySQL 101 Series,” now available for purchase. You can buy all 24 sessions together at a bundled rate or purchase each video individually based on interest and needs. Don’t miss your opportunity to learn from some of the top MySQL experts.
