Fedora test day for replacing MySQL with MariaDB
Hi all,
By now you must know of the movement to replace MySQL with MariaDB in Fedora-land (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ReplaceMySQLwithMariaDB). One important thing is to ensure that MariaDB is a drop-in replacement. Fedora is a fast-moving high quality Linux distribution, so their focus aims are to ensure that MariaDB and MySQL are compatible, data can be migrated easily and there are minimal/no upgrade issues (and if so, they need to be documented)
This is why on 30 April 2013, there is a Fedora test day dedicated to this very important task:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-04-30_MariaDB
I plan to be on IRC for as long as humanly possible on #fedora-test-day (freenode) and will be watching the process closely. If you would like to participate, this is naturally welcome to help new MariaDB users
Thanks!
cheers,
-colin
