The 7th annual MySQL Conference & Expo, co-presented by Sun Microsystems, MySQL and O'Reilly Media, April 20-23, 2009 in Santa Clara, CA, at the Santa Clara Convention Center and Hyatt Regency Santa Clara, brought over 2,000 open source and database enthusiasts together to harness the power of MySQL and celebrate the huge MySQL ecosystem.
The largest gathering of MySQL developers, users, and DBAs worldwide, the event reflects MySQL's wide-ranging appeal and capabilities. Through expert instruction, hands-on tutorials, and readily available MySQL developers, users at all levels gain the knowledge they need to rapidly build solid applications with MySQL that scale with the enterprise.

Probably the number one question I get asked when out and about representing the StartUp Essentials program is, "Would Sun give me a free server?"
Whether this is said 'tongue-in-cheek' or not, I'm happy to say that it does happen...as blogged by Jonathan Schwartz.
In December 2008 Seedcamp along with Sun Microsystems and Orange hosted a competition for startups at LeWeb Paris. 30 startups from around the world were shortlisted and given 7 minutes each to present their solution and company plan, and then judged on various criteria.

Congratualations to the winners,
1- Viewdle
2- Webnode
3- Zoover
who each receive one of Sun's technologically advanced severs, as well as having time on the main-stage to showcase their offering. The announcement can be found here.
It's exciting to support and follow the success of the startups in the StartUp Essentials program, which is free and without commitment.
