Today I gave my talk on standardized operation (e.g. how to operate MySQL as we are used to with Oracle RDBMS) at the DOAG conference in Nuremberg, a talk largely based on the concepts of TVD-BasEnv.You can find it soon here. The talk was well received, and I was quite pleased how big the interest in TVD-BasEnv for MySQL was. Maybe Oracle's takeover of SUN has a positive impact on MySQL, not a negative one, as many fear.
Some general comments on the conference: Very spacious conference center, some quite good talks, good organisation. Worth being there.
