Download Maatkit

Before I tell you what’s new, let me tell you how cool I think it would be if Maatkit were voted Sourceforge.net project of the year. Just something to think about :-) I suggest the “Best Tool or Utility for SysAdmins” category. You can actually click the Back button and nominate it for several categories. Not that anyone would do that, of course.

Also, if anyone wants to jump in and help out with bug fixes and new features, please, by all means. Maatkit is a true open-source project as well as being Free Software. If you can follow coding conventions and understand Perl, I’m a very benevolent dictator and would gladly grant commit rights. As it turns out, since I’ve joined Percona I’m interested in a whole different set of things, and a lot of the itches I was scratching with Maatkit before are no longer mine to scratch. Some of my direct motivation to improve Maatkit is therefore reduced. (To those of you who have sent me gifts from my wishlist, thank you, I really appreciate it. My latest is the score to Crimson Tide, which is just fastastic.)

This release is a bugfix and maintenance release. Many of the changes are minor tweaks to shared code. I’ve also partially moved to a new documentation system that will ensure the embedded documentation is authoritative and accurate.

Now that most people are back from the holiday's break, we need to close on the GlassFish Grants and Awards Program. If you are interested please check the Original TA post, the two posts at Users@GF ([1], [2]), the threads at the Advocacy@GF alias and the Program Page at our Wiki.

The intention is to design as simple a program as possible, possibly borrowing the programs that other communities are using. We will be using the advocacy mailing list for any further announcements.
