I’m probably the last of all the devs at Drizzle to blog about the big Beta release but I haven’t had a lot of time on my hands these days to do it. It has been six months now since I first came to the Drizzle community to try and make it into Google Summer of Code and I ‘ve seen Drizzle go through a lot of changes. One of the changes have come from myself which is replacing my_getopt with boost:: program_options which I had done as a part of Google Summer of Code under the guidance of Brian Aker. Now, the Beta may not be a big deal to many but it is a huge deal to me as this is the first time I’m a part of something huge.

Even though summer of code has ended and I am still spending time in #drizzle in order to contribute patches, utf-8 test cases and bug fixes to Drizzle. (Its difficult to leave such good people and the Drizzle code base is awesome to work on ). I will continue to contribute to Drizzle when ever I had time and see Drizzle grow as time goes by. Cheers to all my mates at #drizzle for making it so far and my wishes to them to take Drizzle even higher.
