Second, Giuseppe Maxia asked me to point your attention to OpenSQL Camp.
(Which I plan to attend, too)
=20
OpenSQL Camp is a free conference of, by, and for the open-source =
database
community of users and developers. The OpenSQLCamp 2010, European =
Edition
(http://opensqlcamp.org/) will take part in parallel to the Free and =
Open
Source Conference 2010 (http://froscon.org/) on Saturday 21st and Sunday =
22nd
August in St. Augustin, Germany, which is located close to Bonn and =
Cologne.

The goal of this event is to spread the word about the vibrant =
communities and
large ecosystems that exist around Open Source Databases and to educate =
the
attendees about possible alternatives to commercial databases. It is a =
place
where people come to learn, to participate and to contribute.

We would like to invite your project to participate in this event.

We've set up a call for participation =
(http://opensqlcamp.org/Events/2010/Call_for_Participation)
 - the deadline for submitting your proposal is=20
July 11th.

We are seeking talks related to Open Source Databases of all kind, not =
just
relational databases! Submission about tools and technologies related to =
OSS
databases (e.g. connectors/APIs) are also welcome.=20

Some ideas and for submissions:

* A how to presentation, showing how to solve a common problem in the =
database field.=20
* An introduction/overview about a certain database project/product or =
related tool
* Providing "best practices" information for administrators=20
* A deeply technical and developer-centric session about some project's=20=

  internals or an API used to connect to a database

We look forward to your contribution! Please don't hesitate to contact =
