Tag: open source

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.
• Respond quickly to pull requests on GitHub and to bug reports that have patches attached.
• Keep documentation up-to-date, develop documentation alongside code and also encourage contributions in documentation.
• Regular, free-to-attend developer meetups.
• True open source, not just code dumps.
