Will the conversion to MariaDB be initiated with a future version upgrade, or is that something we would need to make a decision on and handle ourselves? We target mid-January for our annual upgrades and I want to make sure we start early enough if the conversion is something we need to handle ourselves. I'm assuming we'll be upgrading to 21.3, if it's out by then.

The conversion will not be initiated via an update to Open Dental. We will be providing a tool for conversion. As of now, conversion is not required, and offices will be able to choose if and when they convert. More details regarding MariaDB can be found in the manual, https://www.opendental.com/manual/mariadb.html
