Updates in Meteor Core (MDG)

MDG acquires Percolate Studios

MDG has officially acquired Percolate Studios and they are joining the team. With this acquisition, MDG has started their first commercial service! They are now offering support services for companies. So, if you know companies that were hesitant to use Meteor due to a lack of support services, you can now let them know that there are some. I see this as a great boost for Meteor's future. This gives a chance for more larger enterprises to start using Meteor in their infrastructure.
