Don't see any constructive criticism for what we do now, except that we have more maria-captains than any other company (but at least we are open about wanting more). There is a lot of things to be add: - Make closed source external modules for the free project. - Actively work against anyone doing similar projects. - From time to time, move things from 'open' to 'closed' - When presenting new features for upcoming releases, don't tell anyone in which version the new features will be in (open or closed). - Market the 'open source version' as for testing only and unreliable for production. - Don't release binaries for open source version. - Update open source version less often than the closed source version. - Use different source trees for open and close version; First develop the closed source version and only backport unimportant things to open source version Kurt> Also, is there stuff you'd like to see the Maria community do? Primarily we need more companies participating with the development of MariaDB. Kurt> I think these points are a good jumping-off point to make sure we do Kurt> things right. Yes. Regards, Monty
