Dear FOSDEM fans! No f2f or even hybrid FOSDEM 2022 – we hear that with a combination of resigned sadness and understanding for those responsible of having 8000 people gather in one space. We would probably have come to the same conclusion, in their shoes.
At the same time, we keep hearing how so many good presenters suffer from online fatigue, and the lack of physical meetings. So we have a test balloon, that we’d like to launch – particularly into the MariaDB and database communities at FOSDEM.
What if MariaDB Foundation organised an informal f2f event two weeks prior to FOSDEM? …
Python is my personal favourite programming language, at least this century. So when the opportunity presented itself to have a talk at PyConZA, off I went. Not to South Africa in person, for a 40 minute talk, though.
Technical challenges on Streamyard
It was a live presentation, streamed on Streamyard with chat on Discord. I complained of the bad connectivity I had in central Munich, much to the amusement of the South African audience, which evidently thought they were role models and market leaders when it comes to bad Internet.

Update your calendars: The MariaDB ServerFest has moved to be two weeks later, Tue-Wed 5.-6. October 2021. We hope the new dates fit your calendar!

We used to do UnConferences for contributors
You may recall that we at the MariaDB Foundation did our first MariaDB Server Fest in September 2020.

The Call for Papers for MariaDB Server Fest 2021 is open until the end of Sunday 22 August 2021. We’d like you to put in a submission.
MariaDB Server 10.6 hit Stable recently and the Server Engineering Team is quite proud of some of the innovation there. During the MariaDB Server Fest and we’ll be listening to some those.
The innovation that we’d like to hear from is yours. Users of MariaDB everywhere are applying innovation in the way they use MariaDB all the time. Your innovation may include new technologies integrated with MariaDB, new topographies, or new architectures, and presenting on how you have used these to solve the real problems would be ideal for our Server Fest.
