Part of every SkySQL subscription is paid to Monty Program to fund server development and improved functionality in MariaDB® (which is then sent upstream for inclusion in the MySQL® Server).

Thus, we'd like to know what you'd like to see in the upcoming releases of the server.

Please take a couple seconds (literally) and let your vote be heard:

We thank you and look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas!

If you need Xtrabackup for Solaris 10 and 11 (x64), you can download it from here:

ftp://ftp.skysql.com/downloads/xtrabackup-solaris10_x86_64.tgz

Fwiw, we needed this for a server, and it's not a standard package available for download, so I just wanted to make this available to all.

Hope this helps.

As many of you know, the schedule had been set for FOSDEM.

Giuseppe had posted the full scehdule here:

However, I refreshed the FOSDEM list (provided at fosdem.org) and noticed some changes to the schedule late last week.

Specifically, I noticed new talks by Oli Sennhauser ("New Features in MySQL 5.6"), Alexey Yurchenko ("Galera 2.0"), Steve Hardy ("Optimizing your innodb buffer pool usage"), Liz van Dijk ("Virtualized Databases"), and Stéphane Combaudon ("Practical indexing guidelines").

(And all of the previous folks (Ralf Gebhardt, Stéphane Varoqui, Ivan Zoratti, Sergey Petrunya, Vladimir Fedorkov, Giuseppe Maxia, Mark Riddoch, Kenny Gryp, and Frédéric Descamps) still have talks too.)

So an already very impressive lineup has been improved even more! Kudos! :)
