SXSW Interactive

TAGS: Off Topic

I'll be in Austin Sunday and Monday as part of SXSW Interactive conference. If you're not familiar with SXSW (South by Southwest) it's a combination technology and music conference. Or technically I guess it's two different conferences held one after the other in Austin Texas. I've never been and I'm looking forward to it. Where else could you find a program that has keynotes by Lou Reed and Mark Zuckerberg. There's also more than 1500 bands playing in Austin next week ranging from Carbon / Silicon (who dey?) to REM, Daniel Lanois, Vampire Weekend, The Black Angels, the Stooges and 1490 some others.

Sun is sponsoring some of the events there and we'll have a MySQL / Sun World Tour party Sunday March 9 at La Zona Rosa at 9pm with live music from The Smithereens and Seven Mary Three. If you'd like to join us, bring your SXSW badge or rsvp by sending email to austinevent@mysql.com to get adding to the guest list. (Ok, this may sell out after the first 100 people; you have been warned.)

We will be doing a series of other community meetings around the world culminating in the MySQL Conference & Expo Apri 14-17 in Santa Clara. I think that will be selling out pretty soon also.
