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!

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.
Bravo! Bravo! 🙂
