Hi :)
I don't think it's urgent but it is worth researching
http://mariadb.org/
I am not sure if you can have both on the same system at the same time.  It 
might be worth setting up a virtual machine and testing it that way if 
possible.  
Regards from
Tom :)

 It might be a good idea to plan a move from MySql to 
MariaDb.  MariaDb is a
 drop-in replacement for MySql.  MariaDb is much faster at 
developing and
 bug-fixing so a bug-report to them might get a faster 
response and they
 might well be happy to work on a project such as the 
extension/add-on. 
 It's almost all the MySql people except the ones paid by 
Oracle.  Regards

  Hi Andreas,
  
  As far as I know, it is shipped with LibreOffice.
  Choose database type MySQL instead of JDBC or ODBC.
  
  It is neither built nor shipped by the LibreOffice project. 
It is
  shipped with various Linux distributions, who include it 
in their
  extensions build setup.
 
 Thank you,
 Now I see that we first choose MySQL and then we are 
prompted for ODBC
 or JDBC. I was under the impression that MySQL refers to 
the built-in
 driver.
Do you know if this will work in parallel with MySQl until 
things can be migrated? Also so phpMyAdmin or something 
similar work with it?

Thats

I believe you can only have one MySQL/Mariadb installation.

There is a third MySQL connection available in Linux that works very
well. However if the distro supports 3.3.x like Ubuntu it can be
difficult to install and get working with 3.4.x 

 Do you know if this will work in parallel with MySQl until 
 things can be migrated? Also so phpMyAdmin or something 
 similar work with it?
 

I know MySQL Workbench works with Mariadb in Linux. In Windows, Mariadb
installs another GUI, Heidi I believe. My understanding is if something
works with MySQL it will work with Mariadb. Mariadb uses the some names
for the files as does MySQL so you can use the MySQL documentation.
