The OpenSQL Camp series of unconferences is organised by the Open Source Databases Community worldwide. These camps are being organised since 2008.
OpenSQL camps are free events, formatted like unconferences (eg: BarCamp, OSScamp) – a judicious blend of spontaneity and pre-planning. The event of 2009 in Portland is targeted at users and developers of Databases and will see plenty of presentations and hackathons.
The event is scheduled for November 14-15 this year. Sessions will include talks on Sphinx, MySQL, SQLite and much more. Around 120 participants are expected at the camp.

To make a successful event, the organisers need to focus on organising the event and planning the logistics. To keep it free for participants, they need support from the Industry. OSSCube is proud to be a sponsor of OpenSQL Camp Portland 2009, along with the likes of Facebook, Google, Sun MySQL, Open Query, and O'Reily.
