We are delighted to welcome QUAPE, a Singapore-based leader in high-performance hosting and IT infrastructure, as a Silver Sponsor of the MariaDB Foundation.
Founded in 2006, QUAPE provides enterprise-grade hosting solutions for businesses across Asia and beyond — from dedicated servers and VPS platforms to cybersecurity and custom software development. Their long-standing focus on reliability, speed, and scalable infrastructure mirrors the values we uphold within the MariaDB ecosystem.
One of the core responsibilities of the Foundation is to maintain and advance the MariaDB buildbot infrastructure: the continuous integration system that tests every change, validates every platform, and keeps MariaDB Server stable for millions of users worldwide.

Mirror, mirror on the wall — what do you measure when you measure us all?
Is it skill, or is it voice?
Is it code, or is it conversation?
DB-Engines is not a looking glass of perfection, but a mirror of perception — reflecting the chorus of those who search, speak, teach, compare, and build. And like every enchanted mirror, it shows not only what is, but what the world believes it sees.
MariaDB today stands firmly among the world’s top relational databases.
Not by inheritance, and not by illusion, but by the millions who use it, trust it, and shape it.

As part of MariaDB’s efforts in Adoption, we have been working on support of MariaDB in open source projects.
The open source projects we have been looking at range from well known, ready to use projects like WordPress or MediaWiki (that Wikipedia runs on), to under-the-hood solutions like ORMs that connect software with databases for countless other open source and private projects.
MariaDB is the de facto standard that many projects and users are running. As MariaDB diverges, matures and develops on its own path from MySQL, especially in later versions, it’s not enough to shrug off compatibility questions with “MariaDB is a drop-in MySQL replacement – everybody knows that”.

You can take FOSDEM out of Brussels, but you cannot take the Brussels out of FOSDEM. Meeting virtually is different, but FOSDEM once again succeeded in invigorating spirits and building bonds between developers.
Picture on top: myself “at FOSDEM” 2021. Missing the crowds, but still getting interaction!
Presentations now live on YouTube
The MariaDB presenters, the MariaDB Devroom organising committee and the team at MariaDB Foundation put considerable effort into all MariaDB talks at FOSDEM. The 24 MariaDB related talks are now all available on-line as a YouTube playlist on https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaJ5BwLUdDZ-JQME9xbO2UD3uvBXnizM1
Still friends with MySQL
MariaDB Foundation got its first-ever devroom just for MariaDB Server.

2017 has been very successful for the entire MariaDB ecosystem. There have been great strides on all fronts including adoption, funding, collaboration, products, services and of course, in the development and maintenance of the MariaDB Server code itself.
We are also proud to announce that this is also reflected in the MariaDB Foundation’s board, which saw several new members elected to it in 2017. In June 2017 the board elected 3 new members: Xiaobin Lin from Alibaba Cloud, Todd Boyd from IBM and Barry Abrahamson. Barry is employed by Automattic, but he was elected to represent the user community. …

The mission of the MariaDB Foundation is to ensure continuity and open collaboration in the MariaDB ecosystem. We facilitate the development of the MariaDB Server and the related connectors as listed on our GitHub account. Core to us is to enable and foster collaboration so that contributing is meaningful and produces results for everybody.
Here are some of the things we do to ensure true open source:
- Publish code in real time, not just at release time.
- Discuss and plan on the public mailing lists and on IRC.
- Public bug tracker, transparent progress and priorities.
