Maatkit thanks Vantage Media
I just wrote about how Maatkit has gotten some new features for helping people make sure their slaves have an exact copy of the master’s data. This work was largely sponsored by one of Percona‘s customers, whose name I have permission to mention: Vantage Media.
Thanks Vantage! Your sponsorship helps many people and businesses.
I do not understand why company like that wouldn’t agree to say that they sponsored an open source project like maatkit.
This is just great publicity for them and it is highly appreciated. Personnally I hate to think that two persons could loose time doing the same thing again because they don’t want to share/publish their work.

Sometimes companies working with Percona don’t want competitors or others to know that they’re working with us. There are lots of legitimate reasons for this. By default we always assume they want privacy until we hear otherwise. I wish the marketing departments of every company in America extended the same courtesy. Being too careful is the right thing to do, here. But, of course it turns out this company is happy to publicly promote Maatkit, so it’s all good!
