Our Kudos to All Percona Community Contributors

percona community

Percona stands for open source and keeps open source open for everyone. Open source software is impossible without the efforts of the community. Today, we want to personally thank the most active contributors. They not only contributed code but also reported issues, helped users on the forum, and wrote blog posts on the Community website. We highly appreciate all your effort and support.

Let’s meet the heroes!

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)

Naresh Chandra is very active on the forum, providing a piece of advice to other users. He also published more than 30 issues in Jira Percona, reporting bugs and suggesting PMM improvements. Our PMM team specifically highlighted Naresh’s contribution.

Marko Sutic reported issues related to Explain Plan.

Anish Rajan fixed the issue when some PRs failed on linters.

Community

Wayne Leutwyler did so much on Percona Forum helping others. He also wrote blog posts for Percona Community Blog describing his experience on building Percona software on a Raspberry Pi.

Also, we would like to thank everyone who came to talks by Percona speakers or visited our booths on various conferences and events. It is such a pleasure to see your interest and feel your support. Check out all the upcoming events. Looking forward to seeing you there!

We so much appreciate every contribution. There are no minor ones. We encourage you to continue supporting open source actively, especially these days when open source is under pressure. You make Percona software better, you make open source better, and, after all, you make the world a better place for everyone.
