Is there a date set when the winner will be announced? In case it's any of us, I would like to know how much time we'd have to make arrangements. Thank you!
This sounds great I was looking into attending the conference as I am currently developing on a fully fledged online billing solution, including voucher management, subscriber management and then obviously ballance management. The system is aimed at the VoIP market to provide pre-paid billing solution for VoIP providers. All this is of course based on MySQL and c++.
Previous MySQL development included an of-line data store product for Adabas databases to be "ODSed" to MySQL, a Message Oriented Middleware solution for providing a publish and subscribe message queuing infrastructure.
I see this as a great opertunity for the person winning this pass and hope to be me. Meeting at the expo people form Google , Face book est and seeing what the levels of development on MySQL is currently in the US.

He asked that everyone have entries in by today, so I would guess it will be in the next couple days or so.
Thanks, but I am from India and will not be able to make it. By the way,
I have never used MySQL, but used PostgreSQL along with cgi and C++ to make small interactive web pages in our department (department of physics, Visva-Bharati) for handling the seminar library and our publications database. SQL is wonderful.

But I am the CEO of a company based in Cupertino, CA - very close to the venue.
We offer services to our clients to install and customize free and open source software for their internal and external applications.
Till date we have installed over 10 sites using Joomla, created probably 4 or 5 using Drupal, 3 or 4 using SugarCRM, installed CATS - Candidate Application Tracking System for one client and installing one more for another. Asterisk is another favorite as is its cousin Trixbox. My PBX is based on Trixbox - which itself has a Sugar instance.
For all these we have used MySQL.
I am also working with another company which has developed an e-commerce application using MS technologies and I am working with them to convert the same to LAMP stack. The first thing we are migrating is the DB to MySQL.
I think I would benefit tremnedously by attending the MySQL conference and seeing other implementations of various OpenSource Projects. I will in turn be able to use this knowledge to further the cause of OpenSource initiative.
Let me know if I can lay my hands on this free pass.
