Thank you, Mike --in terms of press release dissemination, we'll do that on our
end. I'll confirm the time once we lock in the content.
If IBM would like to issue a supporting announcment ("yay, CouchDB!"), that
would be terrific. We encourage all those who are able to please do so.
Warmly,
Sally

Oh, good. Thanks, Sally! I think I told the community the reverse (my bad), but
that makes sense: You and the press team will take an initial pass, and will
then send it back to the community for review.
Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not sure if the ASF issues its own news releases
or what the process is there. We're fine either way, but of course we'd help
set up the approved release for distribution via PRWeb if needed. Just wanted
to mention that up front in case it matters.
Thanks! --Mike

Thanks so much, Mike. Thank you, Lynnette!
I'll edit and forward the draft back to the community by Thursday, hopefully
sooner.
I'm also copying the ASF Press team here to ensure everyone's in the loop.
Cheers,

Hello, community-- After our google hangout with Jan, Alexander, and others on
Monday, my colleague Lynnette and I drafted a press release for your review.
It's open to all for comments via
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1haCoxdPnkrY2MNxhlkg7V0xrK3jsL78eemvSFCBcLC4/edit?usp=sharing
If you would like edit access, please let me know. (I already granted edit
access to Jan, Noah, and others who I suspect might be interested, but my
apologies in advance if I left you off.)
The goal is to send a draft over to Sally Khudairi by Friday morning U.S.
Eastern, so she has time to review before Jan, Joan, and others speak about the
Apache 2.0 beta release at ApacheCon Europe on 17 November.
Thanks very much for your edits/comments! --Mike

DRAFT: NOT FOR RELEASE
DRAFT: FOR APACHE COUCHDB COMMUNITY REVIEW
Apache CouchDB™ Adds Database Clustering with 2.0 Beta Release of NoSQL
Software
Horizontal scalability improves data replication and sync at large scale for
JSON document database
BUDAPEST — NOVEMBER 17, 2014 — The Apache CouchDB™ project today announced a
beta release of CouchDB 2.0 at the ApacheCon Europe conference. The software
release brings improved clustering technology to the open source NoSQL
database. Now, CouchDB can more easily move data between different CouchDB
instances and continuously synchronize changes to that data across CouchDB
services running on commodity servers, within Web browsers, and directly on
mobile devices.
CouchDB is an operational data store designed to ensure the flow of data
between an application and its database remains uninterrupted and highly
performant. The clustering improvements introduced in the beta version of
CouchDB 2.0 extend the database’s performance properties around data durability
and high availability, adding Dynamo distributed system-design principles to
CouchDB horizontal scaling technology.
“The beta release of CouchDB 2.0 delivers on our vision of making Apache
CouchDB the standard database for data movement,” said Jan Lehnardt, vice
president of Apache CouchDB at the Apache Software Foundation. “Data access is
like any other utility. Applications must excel at keeping data flowing to and
from users, across data centers, and between mobile devices and central
repositories. The beta release is a milestone for the Apache CouchDB community,
and it’s already raising more interest in the project.”
CouchDB 2.0 represents major contributions to the Apache project. All the
clustering features of BigCouch, an open source variant of CouchDB, have now
been folded back into Apache CouchDB. The community has also completed
development of a new Web dashboard called Fauxton, with streamlined admin
tools, rich code editors, and a UI for managing database replication. The beta
release of CouchDB 2.0 containing these features is available now at <link>.
The community encourages feedback for incorporation into the generally
available release, which is expected in early 2015.
At ApacheCon Europe, the CouchDB community also announced plans for upcoming
new features. The first new feature is a declarative querying system, code for
which currently resides in an open source repository. The community also
announced its intention to evaluate soon-to-be-open-sourced code that would
advance CouchDB indexing capabilities. These potential new features would add
integrated full-text indexing for search based on Apache Lucene™, extend
CouchDB view indexing to clustered environments, and automatically compact
indexes with improved logic.

About Apache CouchDB™
CouchDB is a database that completely embraces the Web and works well with
modern Web and mobile applications. Store database records as JSON documents.
Access documents and query indexes via HTTP. Index, combine, and transform JSON
documents with JavaScript. Distribute data efficiently using CouchDB’s
incremental replication and synchronization technology. CouchDB supports
master-master setups (a.k.a. “masterless replica architectures”) with automatic
conflict detection. CouchDB works well with modern Web and mobile applications.
It is not a relational database. For more on CouchDB, join our mailing lists
via http://couchdb.apache.org/, contribute code at

#couchdb channel on freenode.
