We are exploring support for #MariaDB, #Firebird and #CockroachDB in Openfire. This includes early pull requests and discussion of trade-offs, maintenance cost and real-world demand.

We would love community input before proceeding further.

Is this valuable, or more trouble than it is worth?

Experimenting with MariaDB, Firebird and CockroachDB Support in Openfire

I have recently started experimenting with adding support for three additional databases in Openfire: MariaDB, Firebird and CockroachDB. This work is still exploratory. Before committing to this direction, I would like to get a better understanding of whether this is actually valuable to the Openfire community. I have prepared initial pull requests for each database: MariaDB: https://github.com/igniterealtime/Openfire/pull/3240 (OF-3239 in our issue tracker) Firebird: https://github.com/igni...

#HealthWarning #CO #poisoning for people having any #openfire in the house!
A CO-monitor saves lives!
Early signs of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, fast heartbeat and glowing cherry-red cheeks. Immediate medical assistance is mandatory, or severe organ/brain damage can happen! CO binds 250x stronger to hemoglobin - the carrier protein in red blood cells - than O2. Hyperbaric O2 (in chamber) or 100% O2 through a mask is necessary to get the CO off the hemoglobin and replace it with O2.
