- MariaDB is a community-developed fork of MySQL that is fully compatible and intended as a drop-in replacement. It aims to be stable, high-performance, and feature-enhanced compared to MySQL. - Major new features in MariaDB 5.1 include storage engines like XtraDB and PBXT, extended slow query log statistics, and bug fixes. MariaDB 5.2 includes virtual columns, pluggable authentication, and optimizations. - The MariaDB community is open source and welcomes contributions beyond just coding, such as writing documentation, testing, and evangelism.

- 22. Thoughts • Teach/learn principles, • Successful opensource not a software package projects tend to need per se corporate backers (not a backer) • Opensource and open content does not take away jobs, it creates it • but trust not their pre-packaged and keeps profits within educational materials! the local economy • Open core is not the best for you
