Following the strong participation in the first two editions of our Public MySQL Community Discussion webinar series, we’re excited to invite you to Edition #3. These sessions are part of our ongoing commitment to increase transparency, strengthen collaboration, and make it easier for the community to provide input that helps shape the evolution of MySQL’s.

What We’ll Cover (Agenda Preview)

For this third edition, we plan to focus on how we work together with the community on issues, feedback loops, and participation mechanisms—building on what we heard in earlier sessions and aligning with the community engagement themes.

Planned discussion areas include:

  • MySQL bugs and issue management improvements
    How feature requests and issues can be tracked more transparently, how we plan to improve triage engagement and status updates, and how we can make it easier for the community to follow and contribute.
  • Planet MySQL Updates
    A progress update on the Planet MySQL enhancement work discussed in Edition #2, including improvements aimed at better discoverability, quality curation, and easier community content submission—plus what’s next and where we’d like community feedback.
  • Community participation and feedback loops
    What you can expect in terms of visibility (and how to provide input), including the practical “how” of engaging through the bugs database and other community channels.

We’ll also reserve time for open Q&A and community discussion.

Why This Matters

Across the first two public MySQL Community discussions, we consistently heard that the community values:

  • clearer visibility into roadmap direction and prioritization,
  • predictable processes for feature requests and feedback, and
  • a transparent approach to measuring and improving community engagement.

Edition #3 is intended to go deeper into these operational “connective tissue” topics—because improving the way we track issues, communicate status, and incorporate feedback is a key part of building a more open and collaborative MySQL ecosystem.

Join The Conversation

We encourage everyone interested in MySQL—users, developers, DBAs, operators, and contributors—to register and join the discussion. This is an ongoing public webinar series hosted by the MySQL Community team, and your feedback directly helps guide future improvements.
