Hello all,
I hope you're doing well. After the successful event last year
it's a no brainer to arrange another community dinner when we're
all together again in London this November. We had a fantastic

Today marks a milestone in terms of the MariaDB project – going forward, the MariaDB project plans to use Github and git for source code management. The migration happens from Launchpad and the bzr tool.

Without durability, (2) could occur with no record of (1) occurring! …
