Before I left on vacation (now almost a month ago – can’t remember when I had such a long vacation if I ever had), Mark Fontecchio organized a short video conference between myself and John Appleby.

Unfortunately, video part didn’t really work but we did end up with at least a podcast — thanks Mark for organizing it.

It has been over a year since the last OurSQL podcast. First, I want to thank everyone who has written in to tell me how much they loved the OurSQL podcast, and how they want it back.

The book is coming out in May and can be pre-ordered at http://tinyurl.com/mysqlbook.
But enough about the past…..In this first Drizzle podcast, Jay Pipes and I talk about what Drizzle is and how Drizzle is different from MySQL both technically and from a community standpoint.
