There are, and we would have been more than happy to out-flank the MySQL people, but the linux.conf.au organisers messed up. For the last 3+ months, they indicated there would be no open source db miniconf, and they pulled the entry on their site. Obviously they changed plans, but failed to communicate that well. I believe they are having difficulties in general, as the conference is usually sold out well before this point in the schedule, but they are still spamming lists with pleas/adverts for people to buy a registration package (probably a combination of downturn, and location ... Hobart is the Australian equivalent of Anchorage, Alaska).
