Thanks, Joseph and Doug.
I toggle between Manhattan and Boston, and am happy to meet you both when our
schedules ease up a bit :-)
I'll share the draft press release once I have content from the PMC. Right now,
my copy that I've shared with them isn't where they're editing at present, so
I, too, am on standby.
With respect to a call on Friday, 11AM-12Noon is great. Do let me know if you'd
prefer to set it up.

Hi Sally - I'm in IBM Communications team, focusing on the analytics business
(including our Analytics Platform Services team). Once you have a draft of the
announcement, I'd love to see it and see how we can help support it (with a
quote, a tweet, blog post, something).
I'm based in NY (so ET like you) and can talk between 11-12.
Thanks!

Thanks so much, Doug.
I'm actually waiting for the preliminary draft from the PMC, so I don't have
anything to share just yet.
Having said that, we are soliciting quotes from the community, and definitely
welcome one from IBM! Please refer to https://s.apache.org/z9pk as a resource
on how our testimonials should look like.
Should you wish to issue a standalone "Hurrah, Apache CouchDB!" press
release/blog/tweet/*, that would be fantastic as well.
Let's discuss to coordinate tactics and further details. I'm in Boston over the
next week and can call/Skype this Friday between 11AM-12.30PM and 2.30-4PM.
Warmly,
Sally

Hi Sally,
I'm with the IBM Cloudant marketing team (other members copied here). I wanted
to reach out in regards to the forthcoming Apache CouchDB 2.0 press release
after Labor Day. I was hoping to find out more about what the ASF is planning
PR-wise. We'd be happy to make some of the prominent IBM committers available
for comment to the press, where relevant. If you've already reached out to some
of them about this, apologies in advance - I just wanted to see if we could get
a better of idea of what is currently in plan so that we can align our own
efforts and editorial calendar accordingly.
Additionally, we are planning to wrap the CouchDB 2.0 news into an announcement
blog post, and include in proactive media outreach, around upcoming Cloudant
product / service updates - likely in late September or October.
Could we set up some time to discuss this with Joe Gallo (also copied here)
from IBM external comms? Look forward to hearing back.
Best,
Doug
