MySQL Contributor Summit – Second Edition

We are pleased to announce the second 2026 MySQL Contributor Summit to be held on August 5–6, 2026.

This summit continues the open technical collaboration started during the first MySQL Contributor Summit in May. The goal is to review any new proposals, progress made since the initial discussions, check the status of agreed actions and proposals, and continue working together on the next steps for MySQL Community Edition.

The Summit will bring together engineers, developers, contributors, and community members to discuss MySQL roadmap topics, design proposals, governance, contribution processes, and areas where community feedback and collaboration can help shape future development.

The event will include a mix of technical presentations, working discussions, and follow-up sessions in a hybrid format.

This event is focused on technical development work and discussions related to MySQL Community Edition.

Speaker Submissions
For a successful speaker submission, please note the following:

• All talks should be technical and relevant to the current and future development of MySQL Community Edition.
• Each talk should help the audience understand the status of a proposal, design, implementation area, or follow-up topic from the first Contributor Summit, and should support continued collaboration around the public MySQL Community Roadmap categories.
• Know your audience: attendees may not be familiar with your specific area of expertise, but the goal of the summit is to encourage collaboration across MySQL technologies and help build a stronger, more active contributor ecosystem.
