The folks over at Proven Scaling offered to send three people to the MySQL conference in Santa Clara at the end of the month. I put my name in and won!

Unfortunately my wife’s at a conference herself those days, so I can’t go. Major bummer!

I think it’s wonderful that a company is offering to send people to a conference (airfare and everything… One of the other winners is from Germany!). I think there are a lot of people out there with the right attitude and good ideas but no means to get to events like this.
