Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Media will be speaking at the upcoming MySQL Users Conference April 24-27 in Santa Clara. Tim's been at the forefront of the open source revolution for as long as it's been called "open source", having helped bring the term into the lexicon after the historic Open Source Summit in April 1998. More recently Tim has helped bring the notion of "Web 2.0" into mainstream discussion.
NerdTV has a great interview with in which Tim discusses how he got started in publishing, founding the first Perl conference, why licensing is a red herring and more.
If you haven't seen Tim O'Reilly speak before (or even if you have) I encourage you to come to the MySQL Users Conference to check it out. There's always a new wrinkle Tim brings to the forefront and his logic is so clear and compelling I always wonder "why didn't I think of that?"
