I work for MySQL AB. I also do some systems and software development for Wikipedia.
Lately I've been working most on Wikimedia cluster operations and performance, with some DBA hat ;-) I am also some kind of a Wikimedia Foundation officer.

[edit] wiki wapor
Old stuff can be found somewhere in history, if it works ;-)
- External storage for Article and Image (media)... there's a MogileFS-like development somewhere there... There are simple hooks in code, that allow references to external classes, might be in use some day.
- Unfinished MediaWiki-embedded http code has proved a concept, though, requires targetted development and maybe dropping php4 support.
- Dynamic interfaces (loading pages via XMLHttpRequest) do work, but break some user-accepted browser model. Would require either building whole app with proper persistency interfaces, or forgetting it.
- Hash-function (not hash-table) based distribution of requests among caches.
- This is done at Amsterdam->Florida request balancing.
