The time has come for me, Otto Kekäläinen, after serving as the CEO of the MariaDB Foundation since January 2015, to step down. The board has already quietly been searching for a new CEO for some months, but no contract has been signed as of yet, so if you are interested in the position, please send an application to jobs@mariadb.org.
This is a good time for a change of leadership. Some 4 years ago when I started in the MariaDB Foundation the MariaDB Server was clearly the underdog compared to it’s biggest rival. Since then we have won major successes and are now well established as the new M in LAMP thanks to our broad uptake in Linux distributions and development environments (such as WAMP, XAMP, VVV etc.), hosting companies boast on their websites that they offer MariaDB and many developers and architects seem to prefer MariaDB due to our reputation of being well built. …

We are pleased to announce the launch of our public bug bounty program on the HackerOne platform:
The aim for this program is two fold:
- Review the vulnerability submission channels, guidelines and policy for responsible disclosure, as well as asset identification and vulnerability handling process on our side.
- Encourage researchers to look for vulnerabilities in MariaDB code and have a way to incentivize reporting in accordance with the responsible disclosure model.
Goal no.1 resulted in changes to our general vulnerability classification process described at mariadb.org/about/security-policy/. We now have two kinds of vulnerabilities, Critical and Medium severity, as well as a policy that should act as a guideline to the reporter as well as our team to ensure proper vulnerability management. …
