New MariaDB.org with fresh looks and contents

Today we have published a long overdue facelift of the MariaDB.org website. You are looking at the result right now! Some of the highlights are:

  • New responsive design with the new logo and a blue theme
  • The old blog has been merged into the main MariaDB.org site
  • The supporters of the Foundation are much more visible thanks to the big banner in the footer
  • What the MariaDB Foundation is and what it does is now better presented
  • Policies related to MariaDB and instructions on how to contribute to the open source project have been updated
  • It is now easier for individuals to donate to the Foundation thanks to the PayPal and Flattr buttons.

SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 with MariaDB 10

Congratulations to the SUSE team, for the release of SUSE Linux Enterprise 12. It comes by default with MariaDB 10.0.11, and you can find out more information in the release notes (in particular MariaDB replaces MySQL). Let us know if you’re using this, even on systems like POWER – we love to hear from our users!

MariaDB & MySQL Community Event videos & slides now up

If you couldn’t attend the MariaDB & MySQL Community Event in April 2014, held at the Hilton Santa Clara, fret not as there are slides and videos uploaded for you to watch at your leisure. There is likely to be at least one more community event later this year, so watch the space.

Currently on the page, you’ll find most of the talks with slides and the videos are professionally done – with slide overlays. The audio could be better on some, but for an event that was pulled together by Monty in less than 3 weeks, it’s not too shabby.
