Lately there has been a lot of discussion about “hard” or “soft” forks related to MySQL.

It is 15 years since the first MariaDB server release of MariaDB 5.1.38 on 29'th of October 2009.

MariaDB 11.0-Alpha preview is now available for download!

Yesterday was a big day for me and everyone involved in MariaDB when MariaDB Corporation (Now MariaDB plc) was listed on the New York Stock Exchange !

Hello world, I am still alive (even if this blog hasn't been that much alive lately)!

Last week, Oracle announced the general availability of MySQL 8.0.

MariaDB 10.2.6 GA is now released.

While most of the MariaDB developers have been working hard on getting MariaDB 10.2 out as GA, a small team, including me, has been working on the next release, MariaDB 10.3.

I believe that Open Source is one of the best ways to develop software.

This is a repost of Otto Kekäläinen's blog of the MariaDB foundations work in 2015.

2014 was a productive year for the MariaDB Foundation.

We have now published the trademark agreement between the MariaDB Corporation (formerly SkySQL) and the MariaDB Foundation.

Today SkySQL is changing its name to MariaDB Corporation.

While working on some new features in MariaDB 10.1, I noticed that a normal user couldn't disable the slow query log, which I thought was a bit silly.

With MariaDB and MySQL we have always taken security seriously.

It's now 3 weeks since the MariaDB & MySQL community day in Santa Clara.

We have now a great set of talks for the MariaDB & MySQL community event in Santa Clara on 3rd of April!

I am happy to announce that the MariaDB Foundation is organising a MariaDB & MySQL community event in Santa Clara on Thursday the 3rd of April.

I just pushed the new CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE syntax into MariaDB 10.0, for the soon to be released 10.0.8-gamma (RC).

I recently read some comments that we at the MariaDB Foundation have not been very open about what we are doing.

Froscon, the German Free Software and Open Source conference, is happening again this weekend in University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg.

A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed on ZDNET about how to create successful software company in todays world.

The MariaDB Foundation have just issued press release about the new Governance in the Foundation.

It's now about one year ago since we released MariaDB 5.5.
