There seems be a bit of an exodus from the MariaDB Foundation board recently… I’m not sure exactly what to make of it all, but the current members according to https://mariadb.org/en/foundation/ are:
- Rasmus Johansson (chair)
- Michael “Monty” Widenius
- Jeremy Zawodny
- Sergei Golubchik
With Jeremy Zawodny being the only non-MariaDB Corp member.
Recently, Jeremy Cole asked some people about their membership:
@jeremycole Nope. Resigned months ago.

@jeremycole Hi Jeremy, no, sorry, I resigned a little while back.

@jeremycole yes, though I'm having some doubts about its future (for a variety of reasons) :-(

I’m a little worried for the project, the idea of a foundation around it and for people I count as friends who work on MariaDB.

I nominate Stewart. He is motivated to make MariaDB better for a new platform (Power8) and he seems to be aware of these community issues.
Can they call it MariaDB Foundation? Or must they call it Foundation for MariaDB?

My fear would be that people would be unwilling to make needed changes.
I’ve reached the point where I just don’t care. I’m bored with it all. Let’s just stop talking about “it” and let it fade into obscurity. Just drop the ball and walk off the field.

@stewartsmith @h_ingo given that the foundation is nowhere near the reqs for 501c6 (single product) maybe should update that page there too
