I&#8217;ve come to the realisation that writing talks, really does take a lot of time (when you have a deadline). Especially, if you&#8217;re doing it my style &#8211; everytime I write a slide, and find something missing in the Wiki, I go ahead and fix it. So its not actually talk writing I&#8217;m doing, but expansion of our online documentation, and keeping it in check. That takes time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Enhancing Competitiveness Through Technology<\/b> &#8211; I&#8217;m giving this talk at the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) Annual Conference 2007. Their conference is themed around &#8220;Enhancing Competitiveness Through Technology &amp; Law Reforms \u2014 The Next 50 Years&#8221; and is on the 19-20 November 2007, at the KL Convention Centre. My talk is on the 20th, as I&#8217;ll be on a plane on the 19th. This is targeted at CEO\/manager level, so is lighter on tech-related content, but more concepts. Come see me in a suit :) <\/li>\n<li><b>Paying It Forward: Harnessing the MySQL Contributory Resources<\/b> &#8211; I&#8217;m giving this talk at foss.in, it will have a localised title, with regards to the much hyped architecture of participation. MySQL has done some amazing things to &#8220;open up&#8221; for external contributions, and clearly, we continue to do so, and we must celebrate it, obviously. And get more contributors. I also submitted this talk for the MySQL Conference &amp; Expo 2008, because I think a lot of folk attending will want to know the many ways to contribute to MySQL. We&#8217;ve done some great things, and we need to <i>pimp<\/i> it more. Targeted at the contributor, with some pretty diagrams and patches, yanked off the internals list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The slide deck and speaker notes will be online, in due time. Part of yet another cool project I&#8217;m working on, in where we enable others to give MySQL-related talks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Writing%20talks...&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2007%2F11%2F15%2Fwriting-talks&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
