MariaDB 10.3 has had its first release. 10.3 has a focus of extending existing supported SQL to support Oracle-style PL/SQL. This talk will go into what the MariaDB developers have planned for the upcoming stable version. Other features include community contributed such as user defined aggregate functions and audited tables using "AS OF" syntax. We will also go into our current and future plans for MariaDB in Debian, given how MariaDB (10.1) now ships as the default MySQL variant in Debian 9. We hope to have a discussion with the audience regarding concerns of this change, as well as what other things the MariaDB Foundation could do to aid in this transition.
