Mountaineers: the Percona Community program | Percona Community

Recognize your community contributions and earn rewards as you climb from Basecamp to the summit.
Every time you take part in this community, it counts. Filing a bug, opening a PR, answering a question on the forum, writing a blog post, sitting down with our engineers to tell them what’s working and what isn’t — all of it. Through the act of climbing the mountain, we monitor your contributions, provide recognition, and offer rewards.
This isn’t only for the people writing code. We want to hear from you regardless of how you engage — through code, through conversation, through what you write, or through direct feedback to our engineering team.
Everyone starts at Basecamp. From there, you climb based on how you engage with the community:
Active in more than one of these in the same month, and your points multiply. There’s no single right way to climb — code, conversation, and content all count.
Points exchange for rewards as you climb:
The Challenge Coin isn’t something you can buy. It’s earned.
The moment you’re on the leaderboard at Basecamp, you’re in the program. That gets you access to our engineering team, eligibility for exclusive swag, and invites to community events.
To get started, we need a few details:
Optional, if you want your contributions linked up:
Join Mountaineers — it takes two minutes, and your existing GitHub and forum activity starts counting right away.
If you’d rather tell us what you think directly, book time with our engineering team or pitch a post for the blog.
Where people who run databases in production share events, talks, and practical know-how.
