2018 will see MariaDB 10.3 being released as stable. 10.3 is a major new release with the focus on compatibility, easing migration from other DBMSs, as well as adding new features that are sure to be well used, such as system-versioned tables, which allow one to query data as it existed at a previous point in time (useful in case of disaster!). …

MariaDB Foundation Board welcomes new members

2017 has been very successful for the entire MariaDB ecosystem. There have been great strides on all fronts including adoption, funding, collaboration, products, services and of course, in the development and maintenance of the MariaDB Server code itself.

We are also proud to announce that this is also reflected in the MariaDB Foundation’s board, which saw several new members elected to it in 2017. In June 2017 the board elected 3 new members: Xiaobin Lin from Alibaba Cloud, Todd Boyd from IBM and Barry Abrahamson. Barry is employed by Automattic, but he was elected to represent the user community. …

MariaDB Foundation now on Liberapay

The MariaDB Foundation is a non-profit organization, funded entirely by sponsors and donations. 2017 saw a surge in corporate donations, but a dropoff in private donations. This was mainly due to experiencing problems with Paypal, which we disabled, so there was no easy way for individuals to make donations for much of the year.

This has now changed with the Foundation setting up an account on Liberapay. Liberapay is a recurring donations platform, and is itself an open project structured around a non-profit organization. It does not take any cut of the donations, but is instead funded through donations on its own platform, and withdrawing funds to a Euro account is also free. …
