"It is widely recognized that MySQL is the most popular database software in the world. Since its inception in 1995, there have been 11
million product installations around the world in a wide variety of markets. There are more installations of MySQL in use today than any
other database architecture. From startup companies hoping to be the next Web2.0 poster child to large global enterprises, the MySQL
database architecture has proven to be flexible, extendable, scalable, and more than capable of filling high-capacity database roles in very
different venues."

MySQL University was founded to run the MySQL Engineering Training Program. MySQL University sessions are open to anyone, not just
Sun employees.

* Sessions are scheduled on Thursdays (see below for times and check timeanddate.com for your local time) and normally last one hour.
* For each MySQL University session, there's an individual Wiki page containing links to the presentation slides, the slide show/audio
recording, and the chat transcript.
* That page also contains the Dimdim session URL you need to know in order to join the live session. Note that the virtual meeting rooms
open about 15 minutes before the session starts.
