Percona welcomes Yves Trudeau and Fernando Ipar

I'm happy to extend a warm welcome to two new members of the Percona team.

First is Yves Trudeau, about whom I can say many things:

A few administrative updates

I wanted to write a few administrative updates in one so I didn't spam everyone's feed readers too much. Here we go:

  • Pingbacks were recently dropped when we upgraded to Wordpress 2.8.  Miss them? …
