Last week I put the updated schedule online, with training courses in February (Sydney) and March (Melbourne). Other cities/topics coming up also.

As before, Open Query training is organised in independent one-day modules, so you pick the topic(s) you want, when you want them. Judging from feedback from the initial days done last year, this format has proven highly successful. Of course, it's combined with small (max 10-12) interactive classes, hands-on exercises, and trainers who know their stuff. Heck, I could run days without materials. I will want a whiteboard ;-)

I wrote trainers (plural) because Cybersite (Jonathon Coombes) has merged with Open Query. Apart from years of experience with MySQL training and consulting, Jonathon also has significant PostgreSQL expertise. In addition, he brings along a lot of practical experience with data warehousing, business intelligence, migrations and replication/cluster. He was the first Australian to pass the MySQL Cluster certification (indeed, I haven't done that cert -yet). So anyway, an excellent match, we reckon.
