MySQL founder Michael Widenius announces the launch of the Drizzle project. "Drizzle is a smaller, slimmer and (hopefully) faster version of MySQL; Features that the broad Drizzle community does not want or need are now removed or in the process of being removed (This includes stored procedures, views, triggers, grants, some non-pluggable storage engines and more)." It also, apparently, is intended to be developed in a more community-oriented manner, "A bit like Fedora does to RedHat."
