How can the MySQL community help shape its next chapter?
At MySQL BR Conf in São Paulo, the community came together to share ideas, learn from one another, and explore MySQL’s future. Heather VanCura joined Vinicius Grippa for the welcome, with Oracle supporting the event as one of its main sponsors.

In her session, The Path to MySQL Open Innovation, Heather explored how community feedback is helping shape MySQL’s evolution through greater roadmap transparency, clearer contribution pathways, community governance, and GitHub-based collaboration.

And you don’t have to contribute code to make a difference. Reporting bugs, testing, improving documentation, sharing knowledge, and taking part in user groups all help the community grow.

Building on 30 years of MySQL, the focus is on making it easier for everyone to participate and help shape what comes next.
