I do
Dont underestimate the “us” of this list

Alexander,
great list, I am focusing on what I see as business cases for CouchDB (Apple is 
a different animal)
- BBC: http://www.erlang-factory.com/conference/London2009/speakers/endafarrell 
<http://www.erlang-factory.com/conference/London2009/speakers/endafarrell>
- CERN: http://readwrite.com/2010/08/26/lhc-couchdb 
<http://readwrite.com/2010/08/26/lhc-couchdb>
all I need to develop a story idea of someone has a warm contact that is 
interesting in doing the interview and hopefully pull in some colleague
