Open-source database developer mailing lists
What’s going on at your favorite open-source database developer mailing list? Non-scientific memory of what I’ve been seeing lately:
- The Drizzle list is talking about test coverage and completeness, and schedulers.
- The MySQL internals list has recently been dominated with talk about coding standards.
- The PostgreSQL hackers list is talking about a ton of stuff. I don’t even try to keep up.
- The Percona launchpad list is talking about bugs, xtrabackup, and more bugs and patches for them. There’s also a Percona Google Group that is not very active. In fact there are several Percona lists; it looks a little confused.
Baron, you may also want to tell people which url to go to to subscribe to say the Percona launchpad list. Launchpad is a bit of a maze when it comes to that.

Yeah, I’m actually not sure of it myself. Everyone raves about Launchpad but I’m not convinced — I find it pretty confusing to work with. Let’s see how long this takes:

I *think* that’s right. Took me 3 minutes to find. I see an unsubscribe button on the page, so I take it someone who’s not subscribed will see a Subscribe button.
