Drizzle… seeing sun through the clouds
Brian Aker was at the Sun booth today, in a premier slot, where there must have been about 50-60 people, huddled around, to listen to him talk about Drizzle. The project motivations, what’s behind it, what its not aimed to be, and so much more. Check the video out (21 minutes long)!
The Birds of a Feather (BoF) session in the night, was well attended, and there was lots of large discussion on what’s next. I think the important message to take away is that Drizzle doesn’t aim to be MySQL, and there are no plans to “merge” things back (fixes where the code-base is shared though, might make sense). Its also important that the design is for the future, i.e. multi-core machines. It was great to see Brian say that this really leverages Sun in many ways.
Its worth noting that Sheeri was at the lightning talk, and has a shorter, 8 minute video recording too.
Update: s/nothing/noting
“Its worth nothing that Sheeri was at the lightning talk . . .”
Nothing at all?? I hope Sheeri’s feelings aren’t hurt!
Slip of the keyboard… noting… nothing… such is life. Thanks for pointing it out Anne. And no, no hard feelings to Sheeri either
