The MariaDB Developers Meetup will be taking place from the 6th to the 8th of October in Amsterdam. https://mariadb.org/2016-mariadb-developers-meetup/ Details of where to sign up, and where to suggest topics for the meetup are on that page. Please feel free to suggest topic you're interested in presenting, as well as topics you'd like to see covered. The meetup is scheduled to be just after Percona Live, which also takes place in Amsterdam from the 3rd to the 5th.
