Updated: Thu Oct 26 16:48:31 +08 2017 – the link has changed as the domain has expired.
Now that Monty Program is no more, we don’t have the Hacking Business Model to govern how we work. I wanted to reference it recently and asked Daniel Bartholomew and Bryan Alsdorf, and they’ve managed to put it up online at a new domain to ensure it will always live on: The Hacking Business Model. It will live on at http://hbm.mariadb.org/.
I just wanted to collect the links of the Google and MariaDB relationship. These were all items in September 2013.
The Register: Google swaps out MySQL, moves to MariaDB – this was largely based on a presentation at SLAC by Jeremy Cole (slides). Same news was picked up by ReadWrite (with a different angle naturally), Google Waves Goodbye To MySQL In Favor Of MariaDB.
If you’re more audio inclined, there was great discussion on the This Week in Google podcast: checkout episode 216.
About a month ago, I accepted an offer to work at SkySQL as the Chief Evangelist for MariaDB. So the change in affiliation announced in April 2013 has come to fruition. What this realistically means is that my email address changes to colin@mariadb.com, though I am still reachable at colin@mariadb.org even though I’m not part of the MariaDB Foundation.
There are a lot of structural changes that urgently need work and I expect to be spending quite some time on all this. In the meantime, read an update from the SkySQL CEO Patrik Sallner.
One thing you might have missed from the MariaDB 10.0.4 Alpha release announcement is that SPIDER is finally in-tree, inside MariaDB. I’ve been watching the SPIDER engine for quite some years and fondly remember the time when Kentoku Shiba dressed up as spiderman at a MySQL Conference.
There are many factors that plays to an engines success. Distribution is one of them. Having a company backing it with services is another, so it is with great pleasure that I also show you Spiral Arms Ltd by Kentoku and Goto.
Overall, a good time to celebrate and I’m very happy for Kentoku and Goto. Now to promote its use. There’s a lot of dated resources that we need to get back up to speed with, so I expect that in time the Knowledgebase entry will well populated.
This is a followup to my early post a month ago titled: MariaDB replaces MySQL in RHEL 7 (lots of stuff in the comments). It’s clear that MariaDB’s role is in Software Collections, which is new in RHEL.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols writes Red Hat will switch from Oracle MySQL to MariaDB, reports.
Sean Michael Kerner has a video (and writeup) with Denise Dumas, RHEL team leader, who talks about Software Collections, MariaDB, and how we’re all friendly (Red Hat + SkySQL + MariaDB). There will be 3 years of support for Software Collections. Indemnification applies as always, its just support cycle per collection is reduced. New MySQL ships in Software Collections too. Its available for 6.4/6.5 (probably as a GA as its beta now), and will be in RHEL7 too.
Also, if you’re using OpenShift, there is now a new cartridge: the OpenShift MariaDB Cartridge.
Subject says its all, this is of course, very good news coming out of the Red Hat Summit. Looking forward to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. And of course, CentOS 7 and the other builds that follow. Thank you Red Hat!
MariaDB replaces MySQL in RHEL 7. Glad to see that. #rhsummit
