@everyone, GBASE prize beta test volunteer recruitment: only 3 days left, sign up now!
The second phase of GBASE's "GBase 8s New Version Beta Testing with Prizes" event is now in full swing, with only 3 days left for volunteer recruitment. At 14:00 on September 11, we will hold an online event briefing. We sincerely invite users, partners, and students who love and care about the development of GBase database to sign up and participate in the beta testing with prizes!
In 2024, after 20 years of development, GBASE's GBase database has faced fierce internal and external competition and experienced ups and downs, yet it has always adhered to its original aspiration and forged ahead. It has been widely applied in industries such as finance, telecommunications, government and enterprises, and security, gaining a large number of users and partners.
In the first quarter of this year, we successfully held the first phase of the "GBase 8s New Version Beta Testing with Prizes" event. With the joint efforts of volunteers and the company's R&D department, the GBase 8s database recently released the latest GBase 8s V8.8_3.6.1 version, and 70% of the nearly 100 issues and suggestions raised by volunteers have been improved. In view of this, GBASE has scheduled the second phase of the "GBase 8s New Version Beta Testing with Prizes" event for September. We look forward to more volunteers participating in the beta testing, validating the product through more application scenarios, and actively providing feedback on issues and improvement suggestions during product use, so as to continuously enhance the user experience of the GBase database, making the new version more complete and robust in terms of heterogeneous database compatibility and tool usability, and enabling database users to join hands with GBASE to create an outstanding database product tailored to the needs of the Chinese market.
We have prepared a maximum reward of 2000 RMB for this event. Come and join the beta testing~
