Lots of big MariaDB news these last couple of  weeks:

• Last week Wikimedia foundation fully migrated their English and German Wikipedias over to MariaDB.
• As reported here on Meshed Insights, we also heard that the MariaDB Foundation has appointed an interim board to oversee the election process of a new board in July.
•  This week brought the exciting news of a merge between SkySQL and Monty Program Ab. This is especially good for the core MariaDB developers as it assures them ongoing backing.
• Along with the above announcement, SkySQL joined the MariaDB Foundation as its first Platinum member.
• Matthew Aslett  highlights the growth of MariaDB and importance of  the MariaDB Foundation during his Percona Live keynote.
