On October 1-2, Chernihiv Polytechnic National University held the II International scientific and practical conference “Free/Open Source Software in Education, Science & Business”. The conference was online and free for everyone. The idea is to bring together people from universities, from industry and from open source communities and talk about how free software is used in education, science and business.

This year Percona was well represented. There were six speakers from Percona, and two more keynote speakers also worked at Percona in the past.

Chernihiv IT Cluster ran ProsvITa 2026 at Chernihiv Polytechnic National University, June 22–25. Engineers from local and international companies spent four days on what production work actually looks like: development, cloud, security, career skills, and how to get your first foothold in open source.

Percona has backed the Cluster for years. Evgeniy Patlan, Manager of Build and Release Engineering at Percona and a researcher at the university, opened the intensive on June 22 with two sessions for students. He has been in this loop a long time — meetups, lectures, conference committees, curriculum work with faculty.
