Thursday night I will be recording a conversation with Brian Aker about his work with the Drizzle database. We will cover everything from why Drizzle was created to what he is currently doing day-to-day.
This will be turned into the initial podcast for the Open Source Database Magazine podcast. My goal is release a podcast around the same time as each issue of the magazine. While the magazine will certainly be technical in nature, I don’t see the podcast as going that direction. The podcast will focus more on the people behind the open source products. The “human side” of open source databases. I find printed interviews of people to be minimally satisfying at best. Interviews are a natural for podcasts. Can’t say that technical content won’t ever sneak in there — but it will definitely focus on the “softer” side of open source databases.
Here is your chance to participate. Either send me an email (bmurphy AT paragon-cs.com) or comment on this post with ideas for questions. I already have a number of questions that I have developed, but there is room for more.
Plus, I will randomly select (random.org!) a winner from those who submit questions and send them a copy of the MySQL Administrator’s Bible that Sheeri and I wrote. I will have to limit the prize to people who live in the United States as otherwise it shipping will be cost-prohibitive. This is purely random and isn’t going to be based on what I think is the best question.
I don’t think I will have time to cover every question, but here is your chance to ask Brian what’s on your mind.
Hello!
My question is ‘what do you think about MariaDB and future of Monty Program Ab?’
Thank you!
I would like to know where a beginner should go to learn more about Drizzle ( differences between it a MySQL and what its target use is) and maybe get involved in the project!
