Based on the CfA replies and other feedback given to us, we could draw a few conclusions.
Attendees: Three-day event
First, we will spread out the event from a two-day event to a three-day event, for the attendees. We received several comments around preferences for shorter days, giving time for “normal” work.

The ColumnStore engine is part of MariaDB Server 10.5.

Requiescat in pace. May MariaDB 5.5 rest in peace!
As the maintenance policy of the MariaDB Foundation states, we are committed to maintaining each release for 5 years. MariaDB 5.5 was announced for General Availability on 11 April 2012, so EOL was originally on 11 April 2017.

One Final Release MariaDB 5.5.68
However, we have decided to build one final release MariaDB 5.5.68, with remaining security updates.

We want to inspire non-runners to run
As initiators, we want to inspire others to start running.
