MySQL's future needs more than one company behind it.
The OurSQL Foundation gives every company in the MySQL ecosystem a way to fund, shape, and be seen as part of that future — on equal, merit-based footing.
Your voice. Your visibility. Your future.
Independence is the product
Our founding sponsor capped its own share of the budget on purpose. Every member added makes OurSQL more neutral, not less.
Be found by the people choosing your tools
Get a profile in the OurSQL Universe — the catalogue the community uses to find software, services, and vendors across the ecosystem.
Shape what gets built next
Committee Groups drive the Foundation's technical and event agenda. Members get a direct line into that work, not a seat in the audience.
Reach the next generation of MySQL talent
Education and certification initiatives put members at the source of the talent pipeline — not competing for attention after the fact.
Not a company? You can still support OurSQL.
This page is about company membership — but individuals are part of the Foundation's independence too. Individual Supporters back OurSQL with a one-time or recurring personal contribution, no company affiliation required.
Four reasons the membership pays off.
Visibility & Recognition
Influence & Governance
Community & Events
Talent & Education
Not ready for annual membership?
There's still a real way to back the Foundation — on your terms.
Sponsor a specific initiative
