The next MariaDB ServerFest will take place in Berlin, Germany. The event is on September 17, 2024, and is generously hosted by MariaDB Foundation sponsor Ionos: https://mariadb.org/fest-2024-berlin/ The event is open to all. I was at the MariaDB ServerFest in Helsinki last Autumn, and I really liked the close interaction with the many interesting participants: big and advanced users, developers, university students, service providers, etc. It is an excellent opportunity to meet many of the core developers, and hopefully a lot of other great people! I will be presenting at the event myself; my talk is titled: "MariaDB Replication – Fantastically Flexible and Fragile". I very much welcome questions during my talks, so feel free to prepare questions for me about anything replication. - Kristian.
