******Dave Stokes: MySQL 8.0 Indexes, Histograms, and Other Ways to 
Speed Up Your Queries*

*Description*:
Improving the performance of database queries is often seen as a Harry 
Potter-ish dark art. In reality it is simple engineering and revolves 
around providing the query optimizer the best information about your 
data! And how do you do that? Well, you can start with properly planned 
indexes and histograms. We will also venture into some other areas that 
will help you speed up your queries.

*About Dave*:
Dave Stokes is a MySQL Community Manager for Oracle and the author of 
'MySQL & JSON - A Practical Programming Guide'.


*der.hans: My Presentation Creation Stack with AsciiDoc*

*Description*:
Creating information rich presentations in AsciiDoc is easy.
AsciiDoc was created as a markup for making DocBook books.
Since it is plain text, AsciiDoc lends itself to writing, editing and 
using revision control.

The presentation introduces AsciiDoc and covers both advantages and 
disadvantages of using it for presentations.
I will also cover some of the presentation tools I've used previously.
Then I'll illuminate why I now prefer AsciiDoc and some suggestions when 
using it for presentations.
