MySQL University
- Sessions are scheduled on Thursdays (see below for times, and check timeanddate.com for your local time) and normally last one hour. The conferencing system we're using is Dimdim – it requires a web browser with Flash and is known to work on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris.
- To join a session, point your browser to this address. Note that the meeting room will open only 15 minutes before the hour.
- For each MySQL University session, there's an individual Wiki page containing links to the presentation slides, the presentation recording (slides and audio), and the chat transcript.
- The awesome logo was created by Mike Zinner.

[edit] Previous Sessions
Previous sessions are intended to serve as a knowledge base for engineers and other interested parties. For older sessions, you can find slides (Wiki or PDF format), audio recordings, and chat transcripts, while for most newer sessions there's a combined Flash recording of slides and audio, and optionally a chat transcript.

[edit] Instructions for Moderators
Here are our fail-safe instructions for moderators.
- Schedule a Dimdim test session with the presenter if that person has never used Dimdim before. Make sure the presenter uses a headset with a microphone.
- Go to the Dimdim sign-on page and log in using the MySQL University account credentials.
- On the overview page, start either a pre-scheduled session or a new one ("Host Session"). Start the session 15 minutes before the hour.
- Mute yourself (in Flash) – the host's voice is always garbled for some reason.
- Assign presenter status to the presenter as soon as he arrives.
- Remind the presenter to upload his presentation (PDF or PPT) as early as possible.
- Say hello in the chat, and remind attendees that they can ask questions in the chat window.
- Press the "Recording" button when the presenter is ready to start.
- At the end of the session, thank the presenter and the audience, and say that the session will end now.
- Press the "Stop" button to stop the recording.
- Press the "End Meeting" button to end the meeting. You should be redirected to the overview page.
- On the overview page, click "Search Meetings" to find the meeting you've just hosted.
- After a few minutes, links to the recording and the chat transcript should appear.
- Copy those links to the appropriate MySQL University session page.
