Hi everyone,

Noah and Jan, who have been checking and publishing the Weekly News in the last 
weeks (thanks to you!), had already suggested that I send my finished version 
of the Weekly News not only to the two of them, but to the entire marketing 
list. The idea behind is to make this more transparent and ensure the News can 
also get posted by one of you in case the two of them are not around.

As I'm still so new to this community, I had needed some weeks to get into this 
and feel comfortable with doing so. This is why today is the first time I'm 
sending it out to the entire list.

So, there we go. 

Below, I'm sending you the Weekly News for today (they're usually posted around 
12pm UTC + 2) in a formatted version and as plain HTML (the latter one to make 
the posting on the blog easier). As usually, it contains all major discussions, 
a summary of the Weekly Meeting, events, jobs and all other relevant content I 
found last week. 

Just two "release notes": 
- I included a content-wrap this time, I tested it on a site and hope it works 
properly :) 
- I left the "please help us testing rcouch merge" section (under "Get 
involved") in. If we can already leave this out due to the testing progress, 
let me know.

If you have any annotations or comments (or find typos :) ), please let me know 
and I'll send an updated version. If it's good to go (then), it would be great 
if one of you could post it.

Also thanks to everyone who submitted content for this!

Best

Lena

Major Discussions

Apache CouchDB Diversity Statement (see thread)

This discussion was initiated with the suggestion to establish a project-wide 
Diversity Statement. First, the idea was brought up to turn this document into 
a PMC charter, a document that sets out what the PMC values, their commitment 
to diversity, and their pledge to the project. The second idea was about how 
merit is being recognised and it was brought up to broaden this around the four 
areas community, project, documentation and code. "This is what we value. This 
is what we will recognise. Our promise to the community." (Noah Slater) It was 
agreed on creating two documents, one for the PMC charter, a second one for 
diversity.

Discussion: Project by-laws (ongoing discussion; see thread)

Proposal to vote in set of project by-laws that define the specific roles in 
this community and
the decision making procedures that are used. The first draft of the by-laws 
has been discussed and modified accordingly and can be found here. Comments are 
very welcome.

Apache CouchDB Developer Code of Conduct (ongoing discussion; see thread)

The PMC initiated a thread on moving forwards establishing an Apache CouchDB 
Developer Code of Conduct (CoC for short). Example Codes of Conduct from 
Debian, Python, Django , Bantik, Node.JS and the Node.JS IRC channel policy 
were as well considered and discussed as transparency, the consequences of 
infractions and the differentiation between minor offences and major offences, 
how to deal with profanity and how this applies to IRC and the moderation 
policy there.

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) / HIPAA 5010 / 
PIPEDA compliance (see thread)

Question on building applications using CouchDB while having to follow HIPAA 
compliance. As for the legal topic this is, the community strongly recommended 
the user get in touch with a lawyer and getting proper compliancy and 
regulatory guidance.

CouchDB load spike (see thread, see also the same question on StackOverflow)

Setup: CouchDB 1.5.0, database with < 10 GB of data in it and continuous 
replication. Every few hours (3-4 times per day) they recognise a huge spike 
that floors the load to around 1.5 and memory usage to close to 100%. It turned 
out there was a similar issue that was already discussed (link to gist). The 
user filed issue COUCHDB-2231.

Tips for general CouchDB monitoring and graphs drawing tools to check what's 
causing huge spikes (from Alexander Shorin, see this reply):

Munin plugin for CouchDB monitoring. Suddenly, it doesn't handles system 
metrics for
CouchDB process which will be added soon; users should make sure they have a 
similar plugin for their monitoring system.
Skyline, a detector for spikes and other anomalies
Oculus, a metrics correlation tool that makes it very easy to compare multiple 
graphs for an anomaly period with it.
Release Apache CouchDB 1.6.0 rc3 (ongoing testing and discussion; see thread)

Some issues have already been fixed, the testing is still ongoing. Find all 
release artefacts we are voting on in this list. If you want to test, please 
follow this test procedure. The changes since last vote round can be found here.

Opinions

Building resilient infrastructure with CouchDB – slides from a talk at NoSQL 
matters
Some Thoughts on Go and Erlang
Compare-And-Swap; lockless paradigm with CouchDB/Cloudant
Erlang for Web Developers with Leptus Micro-Framework
Use Cases, Questions and Answers

Note on a use case, written by Dave Cottlehuber (see email): Creating databases 
for new users signing up with a CouchDB login. – A common pattern for CouchDB 
is to have a per-user database, because this is the only boundary where CouchDB 
enforces user permissions for security. It also makes replicating user data to 
another device very straightforwards. When you have a new user signing up with 
a CouchDB login, you’ll often want to create a database for them immediately. 
While there’s no built-in feature to do this for you, the CouchDB community 
have of course rolled their own like these:
couchperuser
couchdb-dbpersuser-provisioning
Personal Blog, how-to: Installing CouchDB 1.5.1 on Amazon Linux AMI 2014.03.1
Stack Overflow: CouchDB not Working on Android Emulator
Stack Overflow: Couchdb document deletion and performance
Stack Overflow: Is it possible to conditionally revoke read access to a 
database in CouchDB? (closed)
Stack Overflow: Can a view in Cloudant be filtered on parameters that weren't 
part of [its] key
Stack Overflow: add an attachment to a document in couch db using nodejs
Stack Overflow: CouchDB load spike (even with low traffic)? (question has also 
been asked on user@ mailing list. See discussion summary here)
Stack Overflow: CouchDB filtering metadata during sync
Stack Overflow: User Authentication using CouchDB Android
Stack Overflow: ubuntu couchDb not starting on change of database_dir path (no 
public answer yet)
Stack Overflow: Join two different documents in couchdb using futon map program?
Stack Overflow: How to structure class for Couchdb HTTP api? (no public answer 
yet)
couchdb still at 1.5.0-2 even though it has been updated to 1.5.1-1 two weeks 
ago
local (1.5.1-1) is newer than community (1.5.0-2) (solved)
Android-User Authentication using CouchDB Android (no public answer yet)
Personal blog, question: Can replication on CouchDB be faster on production 
server? (no public answer yet)
Get involved!

If you want to get into working on CouchDB:

rcouch Merge: Erlang hackers and CouchDB users, we need your help with testing 
and review of the rcouch merge. It's easy! Find the how-to in this post.
Here's a list of beginner tickets around our currently ongoing 
Fauxton-implementation. If you have any questions or need help, don't hesitate 
to contact us in the couchdb-dev IRC room (#couchdb-dev) – Garren (garren) and 
Sue (deathbear) are happy to help.
You want join us for the updates of CouchDB-Python for Python 3? Take a look at 
issue 231.
We'd be happy to have you!
