- Celebrated MySQL's 30th anniversary. Day 1 = MySQL Community Day, Day 2 = MySQL Team Day (Oracle MySQL engineers). The agenda prints names only: Day 2 speakers are given as Oracle (described as the MySQL engineering team at Oracle); Canonical (Mohamed Wadie Nsiri) and CERN (Abel Cabezas Alonso) are from the highlights post; other Day 1 affiliations left null. Alexander Rubin replaced Sveta Smirnova's session ('War story: removing offensive language from Percona Toolkit') with a security talk on the confused deputy problem (exact title not published; source is the highlights post). Milos Vasic's agenda slot read 'TBD about MySQL HeatWave GenAI' (title left null). lefred's 'From blog post to GenAI using OCI' slot is omitted (the highlights say Harin's session ended the day). Agenda prints 'Dimitri K' and 'lefred'. Track = day. Slides from the highlights post; recordings in lefred's YouTube playlists. Free registration (TicketSource).
