Thanks, Jan.
It's nothing beyond giving them (and any other corporates/users) some time to
prepare/respond/provide a testimonial.
In the case of our friends at IBM, there's a chance that they won't be able to
give us a quote considering how their long it takes for legal clearance on
their end.
Don't worry about curbing. You may be aware of my PhD in "Bad Cop-itis" :-)
I'll take care of it.
To confirm, we're still aiming for Tuesday, yes?

Heya Sally,
we can’t make any extra effort for IBM PR. If _they_ need extra time, that’s
nothing we can help with.
If you need help curbing them, let me know, I’m well trained in shooting things
down ;D

Thanks, Jan.
Normally, working on the press release over the weekend is do-able for me
(although my request in every Board report is 2 weeks), but since we have the
IBM-ers also wanting to announce in tandem, this makes things a bit more
challenging.
Again, giving ourselves an extra day to hammer out details may work in our
favor, and that way I can let the IBM PR folks that we'll have the draft for
Monday.
Thoughts?

Thanks so much, Jan.To confirm I've understood this correctly, should we be
able to get all the ducks in a row vote-wise to announce this upcoming Tuesday
(13 September), would we be ready with things like supporting testimonials?I
ask because it usually takes a while for folks to get those in to us. And, many
of them need to see a draft of _something_ (some don't care/mind either way,
which is good too).
I hadn’t considered testimonials. I’m not in a position to coordinate those
before we can make the call. Anyone else on [email protected] that could jump in
here?
Also, I will need to lock in the copy ~12 hours before announcing on the
newswire service.
...so Wednesday might possibly be a better option....and getting copy in place
before the weekend would be helpful for those not working after close of
business Friday (not us!)
Based on your previous 12 hrs requirement, my thought was “start vote on a
Thursday, work on the PR over the weekend, send to you early Monday, release
Tuesday”, but if you say pre-weekend is better, we should get something going
soon. Anyone? :)
Best
Jan

Wednesday, August 31, 2016 3:58 PMSubject: Upcoming CouchDB 2.0 PRHi 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 Doug FloraPortfolio Marketing - Cloud Data ServicesIBM
