- - User Feedback plugin - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
MariaDB includes a User Feedback plugin. This plugin is disabled by
default. If enabled, it submits basic, completely anonymous MariaDB
usage information. This information is used by the developers to track
trends in MariaDB usage to better guide development efforts.
If you would like to help make MariaDB better, please add "feedback=ON"
to your my.cnf (my.ini on Windows) file!
See http://kb.askmonty.org/en/user-feedback-plugin for more information.

perfect. Please take time to report any issues you encounter at:

We've created a CafePress store which offers an exclusive t-shirt or
other item in return for a donation to the MariaDB project:
- http://www.cafepress.com/mariadb
Please check it out and let us know what you think!
All proceeds go directly to support MariaDB development, so don't think
of it as purchasing a t-shirt, think of it as donating to support a
worthy project and awesome product... and you get a t-shirt as a nice
bonus!
If you would like to contribute to MariaDB in other ways, please see
our "contributing" and "donations" pages in the Knowledgebase:

We hope you enjoy MariaDB!

Like all Open Source projects, MariaDB thrives because of the community
around it. We've been asked on many occasions "What can I do to help?"
and we direct people to our "Contributing" page in the MariaDB
Knowledgebase as a good starting point:
https://kb.askmonty.org/en/contributing
The above page lists various ways to contribute to MariaDB including
obvious things like helping with development, reporting bugs, creating
test cases, helping with documentation and translation, and so on.
For those who want to support the project but don't have software
development or other technical skills to offer, we have a donations
page:
https://kb.askmonty.org/en/donations
This page details how you can donate things like CPU time to run a
buildslave, among other things. It also, by request, includes a PayPal
donate button for those who prefer to support MariaDB that way.
The PayPal button is great, but we thought it would be nice for people
who donate to get something physical in return. Inspired by the EFF,
NPR, PBS, and other non-profit entities, we thought it would be neat to
create a donations page that offered an exclusive t-shirt or other item
in return for a donation. One of the quickest ways to do this is
through CafePress, so that's what we've done:

Please check it out and let us know what you think!*
All proceeds go directly to support MariaDB development, so don't think
of it as purchasing a t-shirt, think of it as donating to support a
worthy project and awesome product... and you get a t-shirt as a nice
bonus!
Thanks.
