Thanks, Joseph. Next week is rather hectic. If we can keep our call tomorrow and follow up as needed on Wednesday, that would be great. Otherwise, Wednesday 1-3.30PM is flexible.

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.

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.
