Foundation14 Benefits of widely used open source software ● Quality: The bigger the community is, the faster the software evolves. ● No lock-in: Software stays open source, ecosystem has multiple vendors. ● No dead-end: Big user base guarantees availability of software and people.

Foundation15 ”Given enough eyeballs all bugs are shallow” – Linus's law
16.

22.
© 2016 MariaDB
Foundation22 * * Definition of fork ● Does forking require that the fork is incompatible with the original program? ● How much incompatible, 1% or 99%? ● What if the fork is temporary and later merges with the main branch again?
23.

Foundation23 * * The history of MySQL and MariaDB
24.
© 2016 MariaDB
Foundation24 * * MySQL history ● Development started in 1994, release 1995 ● MySQL AB founded by David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Michael "Monty" Widenius 1995 ● Named after Monty's daughter My ● General Public License v2 (GPL) since 2000 ● Mårten Mickos elected CEO 2001 ● The M in LAMP

31.
© 2016 MariaDB
Foundation31 * * Open source principles at MariaDB ● Publish code in real time, not just at release time. ● Discuss and plan on public mailing list and 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 allow also contributions in documentation. ● Regular, free-to-attend developer meetups. ● True open source, not just code dumps
