Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

Meanwhile, I should say this since I haven’t yet mentioned it here on my blog: there’s an new feature to our own HHAX class that we’ve added to our upcoming class in Berlin, and that is the booth arbitration daemon and ticket manager.

And what can I say, Terry Erisman and his team at Percona have put together an awe-inspiring conference.
