Proposal for MariaDB trademark policy

Dec 21, 2010

Within Monty Program Ab we have during this year had a lot of discussions about how to go forward with the MariaDB trademark. It’s been clear that everyone wants to have something that is substantially freer than the MySQL trademark to ensure the survival of MariaDB whatever happens to Monty Program Ab.We wanted to make something that should work well, both for open source and commercial usage (and yes, I know that in some cases these are one and the same), which is not very common with many other trademark policies. My belief is that by having a very liberal trademark policy we will create a bigger ecosystem around MariaDB which will help all of us.Now we have had a couple of internal drafts (with heavy input from our community advocates) and we have released our first public draft.Please give us feedback about this either on my blog or the knowledge base so that we can take your thoughts into account for our final version!

Quick notes: Monty Program Group Blog; Rename Maria

Apr 30, 2010

A couple of things:

There is now a Monty Program Group Blog. Its brand new, and in a company where most people spend time on writing tonnes of code, expect posts to be sporadic, but of great technical nature. We#8217;ll also cover things like events, conferences, etc. i.e. where can you meet a Monty Program person. Do subscribe to our RSS or ATOM feed.
At the MySQL Conference recently, Monty announced the rename the Maria engine contest. The competition is still running, and the winner gets a System76 Meerkat NetTop. Some interesting names have already shown up. Monty says, #8220;Make it tell a story#8221;.
