Great Johs! Thank you (: Any other volunteers? As about list of companies, I think our wiki "CouchDB in the wild" page is quite good for start. At least we'll update it, at most we'll receive feedback about.
With CERN, I hope Cloudant folks may help us as they did migration[1] from Oracle for them, but CouchDB was used even before such event. In case of success with the major few we could attract the others via social media - this should simplify the overall process.
