MySQL University sessions are given through three channels:
- Wiki pages are used for session presentation, questions in advance of the session, and session notes (including voice recording and IRC log).
- Voice streaming is used for attendees. This is one-way; only moderators and presenters can speak.
- IRC (Internet relay chat) is used for feedback from attendees during the session.
MySQL University sessions are run by these people:
- Presenter: One or more speakers who are experts in their field.
- Scribe: The person responsible for making sure the session runs productively, and for
- handling the starting, stopping, and recording of the voice stream,
- handling the logging of the IRC channel,
- taking the notes.
- Attendees: That's right, attendees shouldn't just lean back and enjoy the session. Rather than that, your input before and during the session is welcome.
