Speakers:  Peter Farkas

Percona is proud to sponsor SCaLE 23X, one of the most dynamic and community‑driven open source conferences in North America. As the largest volunteer‑run event of its kind, SCaLE brings together developers, technologists, and industry leaders for four days of collaboration, learning, and innovation. It’s a perfect reflection of what we value most at Percona — community, openness, and building great technology together.

Enterprises Play Dirty by Peter Farkas, CEO @ Percona

Abstract: From Red Hat to MongoDB, major vendors are increasingly adopting tactics designed to protect market power, limit competition, and restrict user freedom. This talk examines the strategies behind these moves and explores how they affect the broader open source ecosystem and the communities that rely on it.
Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the dynamics at play — and what the open source community can do to remain resilient.
