Moving this to dev. Ashley, can you subscribe to dev? Marketing discussion should happen on the dev list. (Though, I am open to the idea of creating a new list for marketing discussion.)
Jens, most of the posts there seem very relevant to me. I don't see the spam you see. My membership has been pending for months. LinkedIn tells me that Marouan OMEZZINE is the current manage. Anyone know who this is? I just sent them a message and got: "You are no longer authorized to message this member." I have submitted a support request to LinkedIn now to become admin of that page. Ashley, I'd love to have your help with this stuff! Please feel free to go ahead and create the Facebook page. Once you have done so, please add me as a manager as well. I will email you my Facebook account privately. Once you've done that, add yourself to the Marketing team here: https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Marketing (You might need to sign up for the wiki and have your username added to the contributor group. Let me know if you get stuck or need assistance with that.)
