    The founder of the company presented their application which heavily relies on MySQL for its functionality. People asked a lot of specific question about MySQL usage, why they used that and that particular feature, what were the typical problems, how they solve the and why they solve them that particular way. Very practical, useful presentation, great questions,great knowledgeable people and very good cooperative technical atmosphere.

    "Gosh, I was intrigued by the novel approach and service provided by Bug Splat. What a great service to get people involved in their software and let them that the software companies and developers sometimes really do care about quality. It was cool how they integrated their service with MySQL and know that it can be made better with some basic changes in the database architecture. It is presentations like this that make the MySQL group such a great resource and I love being a part of it and leaning about something new. The presentation was great and really got people involved. Thanks again. Dr. David K. Patterson"

    "Very interesting presentation on a novel product even though it wasn't MySQL-centric."

  • John Moore
    "My first meeting- thought it was good and worth the investment in time. One minor suggestion would be when you kick off the meeting to go around the room and have people introduce themselves and what company they work for. This will help promote networking and conversation. "
