This release was uploaded to Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) a few hours ago, narrowly beating the final release freeze, so it will have a LOT of new users. We're putting the final touches on the server side of https://one.ubuntu.com and by the time Ubuntu 9.10 is released on October 29th every single Ubuntu user will have an address book stored in CouchDB that replicates with one.ubuntu.com, and Tomboy notes that are replicated via a web API at the application but then stored in CouchDB and carried along in the CouchDB replication that we have set up. Optionally they can also store all their Firefox bookmarks in CouchDB and have those replicated as well. We'll be doing our best to help teach application developers to use CouchDB in order to "cloud-enable" their apps. A couch on every desktop! I'd like to say thank you to the whole CouchDB developer community for tirelessly hacking on such a cool project, and for the extra efforts many of you have made to pull 0.10 together in time for the Ubuntu release. It's risky building a new service that depends on beta technology, but what I've seen from this project fills me with confidence that we made the right choice for Ubuntu. Anyone working on CouchDB who's interested is very welcome to attend the Ubuntu Developer summit November 16-20 in Dallas: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-L Ubuntu 10.04 is a long-term support release, which means we support it for 3 years instead of 18 months, so we'll be more conservative about what sorts of changes we make in that version. I mention this because I'll be interested in knowing from the CouchDB development team whether you want to have a CouchDB 0.11 release included in Ubuntu 10.04, so we can do what makes the most sense for everyone. Here is a link to the Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) release schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule . The way I read the release schedule, we'd need whatever version of CouchDB you want to have in Ubuntu 10.04 released by March 4, 2010. But thats later, right now the 0.10 release deserves a celebration! -- Elliot Murphy | https://launchpad.net/~statik/
