The 2015 accounting for the MariaDB Foundation has been completed and the key figures are:
- Total income: 272 827,95 USD
- Total expenses: 276 684,73 USD
- Net income after adjustments: 1 337,34 USD

As some of our staff cost is also administration (mostly the CEO) we can estimate that about 83 % (230k out of 276k) goes to software development related activities (including documentation and packaging), so we are quite efficient on how the funds are used. …

A couple of weeks ago we announced that we were moving from a hosted instance of JIRA to our self hosted instance. The main reason was that we hit 2000 active users in the hosted instance of JIRA and that is the upper limit that it supports. We obviously wanted to allow more people to be active in reporting and commenting on bugs and features for MariaDB. That’s why we set up our own instance, which now is up and running at jira.mariadb.org.
Thank you Atlassian, the company behind JIRA, for providing the hosted instance of JIRA for the MariaDB project over the last three years! …
