Hello Jan and Apache CouchDB marketing team --I trust you are well.
A quick heads-up that I have received confirmation from IBM PR that they will
be issuing a podcast coming out tomorrow, and a video with their CTO (and
CouchDB Committer) Adam Kocoloski later this week.
I'll forward the links to you once available. Thanks in advance for helping
spread the word.
Warmly,

Thanks, Jan.
WRT obtaining names of organizations/users (whether to list on the press
release or to solicit testimonials), we've had some projects ask on their
respective dev/user lists.

I’m done with a first pass, but this will need some more work.
For example: do we know of any more bigger names using CouchDB that we could
list?
The link for the PR is here:
