Gearman proposal for MySQL Conf

[Brian Moon]

FYI, I just submitted this:

Title: Front end database optimization using Gearman

To ensure high performance in modern web applications highly relational,
normalized databases have to some times be optimized (or denormalized).
Marshaling this data back and forth from the primary database server
to the front end database servers can be a tricky task.

Gearman provides a generic application framework to farm out work to
other machines or processes that are better suited to do the work. It
allows you to do work in parallel, to load balance processing, and to
call functions between languages.

In this talk, we will cover using Gearman as a background processing
system that optimizes data for use in front end web site creation. When
should you collapse data? When should you leave it in a relational
format? When is data duplication not only acceptable, but necessary?

Giuseppe and I were planning on submitting a talk or two on Gearman,
possibly one beginner and one use-case based presentation (Gearman
in practice). Perhaps we should join forces on these...
