An intra-pandemic Staff Meeting
Well over two years ago was the last time the MariaDB Foundation staff had met. That was at FOSDEM, in February 2020.

In other words: we planned […]

This is probably the mildest of the consequences of the ongoing war. Nonetheless, we apologise for the inconvenience.
