--- SkySQL and MariaDB: Solutions Day ---------------------------------

We'll be co-hosting the the "SkySQL & MariaDB: Solutions Day for the
MySQL® Database" one day event on 13 April, 2012, at the Hyatt Regency
Santa Clara. 

During this event, attendees will receive free, hands-on training and
consulting on MariaDB and MySQL® database solutions from the experts at
SkySQL, MariaDB, Continuent, ScaleDB, Severalnines, Sphinx, and Webyog,
among others. SkySQL and MariaDB will bring together industry
visionaries, including Michael (Monty) Widenius and David Axmark, the
original authors of the MySQL database, to share their insights on
current and future trends pertaining to the world's most popular open
source database.

Attendees are also invited to participate in Drizzle Day– a parallel
event co-hosted by SkySQL, Percona, and the Drizzle Development Team,
featuring tutorials on the Drizzle database.


--- 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
--plugin-load=feedback.so to your my.cnf file! On Windows, add
"feedback=ON" to your my.ini file, or click the checkbox during the
installation of the MSI package.

See http://kb.askmonty.org/en/user-feedback-plugin for more information.


--- MariaDB Crash Course book -----------------------------------------

We would also like to mention the book "MariaDB Crash Course", by Ben
Forta. This book - for beginner to intermediate level users - will get
you up and running with MariaDB, even if you've never used a database
before. More information is available at:
http://forta.com/books/0321799941/


--- Quality -----------------------------------------------------------

The project always strives for quality, but in reality, nothing is
perfect. Please take time to report any issues you encounter at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/maria

We hope you enjoy MariaDB!
