Have you ever wondered how to get started with contributions to the world’s most popular open source database? Did you have a problems with building and configuring from source code, writing the contribution patch and testing the server with use of mysql-test-run (mtr) framework afterwards?
How to make your patch visible to other developers?
In this section we will go through each step in this process from getting the latest source code, testing the server and writing your first contribution with the live demo!
Let’s get started! Anel Husakovic (https://mariadb.org/about/staff/anel-husakovic/) – is going to talk about it all at our New York Unconference 23d-24th of February …

In order to ensure that new (or changed) code does not break anything, there is an extensive test suite that is run to catch regressions during MariaDB Server development. Developers are expected to run the test suite locally and, after pushing the code to the remote repository, also check that the more extensive tests run on Travis CI and in particular Buildbot do not find any regressions either. However, sometimes developers are sloppy, make mistakes, don’t check the test results and in a hurry to just push their code change on the main branches, and then the test suite gives errors for everybody else from that point on. …

Today marks a milestone in terms of the MariaDB project – going forward, the MariaDB project plans to use Github and git for source code management. The migration happens from Launchpad and the bzr tool.
The 10.1 server development (under heavy development now) will happen on Github. You can check it out here: https://github.com/MariaDB/server. Feel free to watch, star or even fork the code, and send us contributions!
Previous maria-captains should now provide their Github IDs so that they can be accorded similar status. Send the IDs to the maria-developers mailing list. …
