Stewart Smith of Percona will be giving a talk at Percona Live.

The talk is at 11:00am in the Cafe Room.

"Stewart explains the architecture that has evolved to culminate in the Drizzle 7 GA Release. He discusses the future architectural direction of the Drizzle Database and how this will enable Drizzle to be used as an application infrastructure component, not just a database server."
