The first MariaDB Day will be held in Brussels at the Bedford Hotel and Congress Centre on Sunday February 2. This is a complementary event to the MySQL, MariaDB and Friends Day at FOSDEM, which is far-oversubscribed, and gives an opportunity for other speakers and more in-depth coverage of MariaDB-related topics.
Attendance is free, but space is limited, so please RSVP on the Meetup page if you plan to attend.
We also wish to gratefully thank our sponsors, MariaDB Corporation and Virgil Security Inc., for supporting the event. Virgil Security enables a new generation of enhanced privacy and security for applications, cloud services, and the Internet of Things by providing easy-to-deploy and easy-to-use cryptographic software and services for developers and end-users. …
A trip to Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Mumbai taught MariaDB Foundation the importance of India. Government and Fintech lead the pack. India has a huge supply of highly educated IT specialists, and their decision power in selecting tools (including databases) is growing. India is moving from a body-shop for Europe and the US towards becoming a hotbed for startups, and for database training and adoption, India has a near-perfect language landscape for the MariaDB Foundation University Program.

In our quest to promote development of MariaDB Server, what we have come to call Unconferences form a key part. These developer meetings have traditionally been organised twice a year, and 2019 is no exception.

Hosts and environment
Microsoft were our hosts, at their fabulous campus in the peaceful outskirts of Shanghai. “Where are all the Chinese?” was a common foreigner reaction;

How MariaDB Server is tested
MariaDB Foundation is commited to ensuring MariaDB Server has a thriving community of developers and contributors. A software project cannot be maintained without proper tests. mysql-test-run is our standard testing toolkit for MariaDB Server. What it (mostly) does is run queries against one or more servers and compare their output to the expected one. This checks both behaviour and data consistency. The main principle is the server should always return the same data that is put into it.
One problem with this testing method is that it only covers the hosts’ environment. That means that if you are running Debian on x86_64 architecture, you are testing x86_64 architecture on a Debian Linux distribution. …

The MariaDB Foundation is proud to put its name behind the SaveDotOrg campaign. We urge the Internet Society (ISOC) to cancel the sale of the Public Interest Registry (PIR) to Ethos Capital. NGOs and non-profits rely on the .org domain, and the proposed sale to a private equity firm puts this pillar of internet freedom at significant risk.
