As I mentioned some time ago, Software Freedom Day 08 will take place on Saturday, 20th of September 2008.
Coincidentally, the a large number of Sun/MySQL Engineers and other Sun folks will be in Riga, Latvia for an internal developer meeting around this day. To make use of this opportunity, we plan to give a number of sessions and presentations (in english) about various topics and to contribute to this global celebration of Open Source Software.
We've set up a Team Page on the Software Freedom Day web site for this event - the venue will be the Cafeteria Conference room in the basement of the University of Latvia, Riga, which can accomodate 60-80 people:

Hello and greetings from DrupalCon 2008 in Szeged, Hungary!
We (Thierry Manfé, Scott Mattoon and myself) are having a great time manning our booth and talking about Drupal, MySQL and Open Source@Sun with the nice crowd of Drupal Users and Developers here. Sun is a gold sponsor of the event and we're giving a number of sessions as well.
Today I gave my first presentation about MySQL Backup and Security - Best practices - unfortunately I ran a tad bit out of time at the end... The slides have already been attached to the session page, so you can read up on the last few things I was going to talk about. Feel free to contact me, if you have further questions!
Tomorrow I'll be talking about High availability solutions for MySQL: An Overview and practical demo, which will also include a practical demonstration of a two-Node Linux Cluster, performed by Jakub Suchy. In the afternoon, I will also hold a BoF about bzr - The Bazaar source revision control system
I've also uploaded some pictures from the event (and some impressions from the city) on my gallery (more will follow later). Enjoy!
Just to remind you that Packt Publishing is running their Open Source CMS Award again:
The Packt Open Source Content Management System Award is designed to encourage, support, recognize and reward Open Source Content Management Systems (CMS) that have been selected by a panel of judges and visitors to www.PacktPub.com. Now entering its third year, the Award has established itself as an important measure for quality and the popularity of Open Source Content Management Systems.
You have two more weeks to submit your favourite CMS in the following categories:
As for the last two years, I'll be a member of the team of judges that have to choose from the finalists that received the most nominations during the nomination stage.
I look forward to the list of finalists - it's always interesting to find out about new developments in this area and how the established projects in this market have developed over the course of the year!
