The Path to MySQL Open Innovation
summary
Three-part engagement strategy pushes features into the Community Edition, grows the ecosystem, and increases transparency through a three-phase rollout that moves work to GitHub and introduces quarterly contributor summits. The project ships 9.7 LTS release, runs regular early-access builds with ~4,000 and ~7,000 downloads, reduces the bug backlog to ~1,300 while adding issue and PR templates, and launches a community repo on GitHub plus a Planet MySQL revamp and hybrid contributor summits to collect actionable contributions.
