One of the most popular meeting topic ideas has centered on campus options for MySQL support and other LAMP services. I imagine many of us are familiar with a scenario like the following: “I’m setting up a WordPress (or Drupal, Joomla, PHP-based web app, etc.) site and not sure who can provide database support.” Folks want to know what options are available on campus, off campus, and so on.

Let’s tackle this one for our September meeting.

Also, the university’s Chief Technology Officer, Michael Barker, may be joining us for the meeting. Mike can speak to where ITS is in terms of offering MySQL as a service and answer questions.

No presentation this time — more of a roundtable conversation. Bring your questions, ideas, and suggestions.
