MySQL Community Rockstars & ACEs
The MySQL Community annually honors its Rockstars—active members who have profoundly contributed to the promotion and development of MySQL. In tandem, Oracle acknowledges outstanding contributors through the Oracle ACE program, which celebrates individuals who engage and advocate for Oracle technologies on a global scale
