MariaDB Users & Developers
Contents
GitHub/Launchpad Teams and Mailing Lists
The MariaDB project is hosted on GitHub. A good way to get started is to join one of the mailing lists, which are hosted on Launchpad:
- The maria-discuss team and mailing list is for MariaDB users and general discussion. The archive can be found here.
- The maria-docs team and mailing list is for those interested in documentation for MariaDB. The archive can be found here.
- The maria-developers team and mailing list is for those who want to contribute code to the project or otherwise closely monitor MariaDB development. The archive can be found here.
Membership in these groups allows subscription to the associated mailing lists. Membership in maria-captains also allows commits into the official MariaDB source code trees.
MariaDB Commits List
The commit emails are sent to commits 'at' mariadb (dot) org. Anyone can subscribe to commit emails or examine the commit archive.
MariaDB Announcements List
If you want to just want to keep up with the latest news, like new MariaDB releases, you should subscribe to the announce 'at' mariadb (dot) org announcement list (this is a low traffic, announce-only list). You can also examine the announce archive.
Zulip
MariaDB has a Zulip instance. Zulip is an open-source tool that provides IRC and Slack-like functionality. Visit it at https://mariadb.zulipchat.com.
IRC
The Maria project's official IRC channel is #maria on https://libera.chat/. Users are asked to keep their best interests in mind when interacting with busy developers in our big tent.
Conferences
You can also meet MariaDB people at many open source conferences. See the list of conferences attended by MariaDB developers at https://mariadb.org/en/conference/.
Feature Requests
If you have a feature request, you can file it in JIRA. If you are prepared to pay for the feature you can contact the MariaDB Corporation to get a quote. You can of course also fix it yourself and become a MariaDB contributor/developer.
The MariaDB Knowledge Base
The Knowledge Base contains documentation, FAQs, troubleshooting articles, tutorials, and a place where you can ask and answer questions about specific MariaDB software.
