Will SkySQL tech or Xpand be open sourced?
- convolvatron 3y agoI'm personally vested in xpand...I don't know what state its in now, but it would kind of suck if it just got put in a dusty cardboard box in the back of a storage unit.
- pengaru 3y agoGood questions. It's clearly part of the problem that practically nobody in this thread even know WTF Xpand(formerly Clustrix) is, and are judging MariaDB Inc's actions largely on a "why MySQL fork" basis. My ex-colleagues from Clustrix who stayed on-board through the MariaDB acquisition have all been recently #opentowork and talking of getting terminated on LinkedIn. Not marketing people, these were the engineers maintaining Xpand. The Xpand/Clustrix tech is far more interesting than any of MariaDB/MySQL/Postgres, but proprietary.
