We have a lot of cool stuff planned for this years Summer of Code. Don’t miss out!

Summer of Code is looking for someone to give a seminar on database basics - a “MySQL 101″, so to speak.

We’re looking to prime all of the students for this years Summer of Code and we would like to accelerate their knowledge in databases, and SQL. We want to host a workshop / tutorial to students in September. So I’m looking for a Database guru who wants to share their knowledge.

If you interested in helping please let me know.
