I am proud to see ten engineers from my team at AWS acknowledged in https://mariadb.org/mariadb-11-4-2-and-mariadb-11-5-1-now-available/ and four in https://blogs.oracle.com/mysql/post/mysql-90-is-out-thank-you-for-your-contributions for their open source contributions. It's gratifying to see the fruits of our labor after three years of championing this together with all the folks at AWS.

Looking for a Google Podcasts alternative? Check out https://antennapod.org! I tried using YouTube Music and Spotify, but both lack basic features like automatically removing listened podcasts from the queue. Recently, I discovered AntennaPod, which supports importing your existing subscriptions from Google Podcasts via OPML files and includes all the features you'd expect from a top-notch podcast app. Plus, it's open source! /opensource /podcasts

#GitLab devs discussing potential #ActivityPub feature: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247 I can see this having a lot of potential both for distributed code hosting and the "social coding" aspect users experience 👍
