Arjen: I would not go so far as to call it "raving" or boasting about anything. It was a private email message to you only. Not broadcast publicly. For a MariaDB captain, that is pretty bold offering a negative opinion to a potential contributor. Negative comments like that are not the best support for any level of enthusiasm for openness, collaboration, and sharing. Hint: Stop giving hints. marco On 1/7/2013 5:05 PM, Arjen Lentz wrote:

Hi Marco

...

Nice to see your response.

I will be providing the code that I use to modify the MariaDB core daemon soon. I presume you'll put it up in a branch on Launchpad?

You will be amazed how little I am changing the core code. Hint: modesty/humility are a good traits for an OSS developer. Let other people be amazed and impressed when you deliver code - raving about yourself beforehand is less cool...

Where is the open source for Galera? (could not find it readily) At Codership, but also in the 5.5 Galera repository of MariaDB.

Regards, Arjen.
