The 2012 conference was widely regarded as one of the best MySQL-focused conferences in years. With sponsorship and speakers from some of the world's most admired brands, the conference was enthusiastically received by more than 1,000 attendees, many of whom praised the breadth and caliber of the sessions. The conference was so popular that Percona added a fourth day to the 2013 conference schedule.

Percona will post the selected topics and moderators online and provide a meeting space and time. The deadline for BOF submissions is February 24.

They might include a new idea, successful project, cautionary story, quick tip, or demonstration.
