[debian-mysql] MySQL Roundtable at Ubuntu Developer Summit this coming Tuesday

[Nicholas Bamber]

Jonathan,
	Dropping MySQL from Debian or Ubuntu (to be replaced by say MariaDB) 
was floated  back in February 
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mysql-maint/2012-February/003866.html 
. A clarification and summary was posted here: 
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mysql-maint/2012-February/003938.html 
. I hope this helps. My hope is that in the long term we have a vibrant 
MySQL + Clones community in Debian.
