There’s a new place for the people behind the databases to actually talk to each other.
The Percona Community Slack is open. Right now it’s one channel — General — and that’s intentional. It’s a place for DBAs, developers, contributors, and database people of all kinds to meet, swap stories, and get to know who else is out there running open source databases for a living. No silos. No sub-channels for every topic. Just a room.
This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://percona.community/blog/2026/06/02/percona-community-slack-open/
It seems that signing up requires a @percona.com email address
Hi! Thanks for letting us know! It was a silly mistake on our part—we didn’t check all the settings. I think I’ve disabled that restriction now. Could you please check?
Hi @daniil.bazhenov, I’ve tried to join, but slack says:
It looks like your account on the Percona Community workspace was deactivated.
Our support team can’t reactivate your account. If you need access, contact the people who manage Slack at your organization (ex. your manager, IT, or help desk, etc.) and ask them to reactivate your Slack account.
Hi, @strateros
the issue was that you used to be on this Slack channel, and your email was linked to your accounts. When Slack shut down three years ago, all accounts were deactivated. Your email was among those accounts. I’ve just reactivated it. Please check it.
