Notes from CentraLUG, 4-May-2009: Cole Tuininga, MySQL Optimization

[Ted Roche]

Sixteen people attended the May meeting of the Central NH Linux User 
Group. Thanks to Larry Cook and Sybase for the use of their meeting room 
and projector!

Announcements:

David Marston, SwaNH Dinner, May 14th? http://www.swanh.org
Maddog: working with Koolu on Freerunner-based phone, running "Cupcake," 
the version 1.5 of the Google Android phone OS. See 
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/koolu/ and
Me: watch gnhlug.org for future meeting announcements

Cole works for Dyn Inc, the parent company to DynDNS and the other 
Dynamic companies. Cole Tuininga presented tips and tricks on optimizing 
the performance of MySQL in high-traffic, large-dataset situations. He 
talked about the selection process Dyn, Inc went through to select 
databases and the large scale processes they have automated at Dyn. You 
can find the slides on the GNHLUG site at 
http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/MySQLOptimization.

By the way, seven of us made it to Panera Bread before the meeting for a 
breaking of the bread. I hope to make this a regular extension to the 
regular meetings.

Thanks to Larry Cook and Sybase for providing the facilities, to Cole 
for the presentation, to all for participating!

June meeting *Might* be next week, or we may have to reschedule -- 
securing a location has proven to be a problem. Stay tuned.
