Blog post and press info
Hi all,
wow - very much things happen to the CouchDB project staff. That's awesome
and I would like to thank all the people who took the efforts to attract
people to join the project.
I think it would be great to write a press post / article for the CouchDB
blog and also sending it to Peter Cooper for the DB-weekly newsletter. The
content could be:
_ some community numbers e.g. subscribers to main ml's
_ some info about (new) committers and (new) PMC
_ targets for 2014
_ general info about CouchDB status eg. version and the merge efforts
Would love to read your thoughts about this.
Cheers
Andy

Custom app/Mailchip is a bit OTT for now. Let's just get a manual
process that works first. :)

Andy,
Note that we provide a board report quarterly that has this info
summarised. So you can use some of that if you like.
Individual committer/PMC elections are not enough for a blog post. But
I was hoping one day that we'd include them in a "weekly news" sort of
thing. As I mention on another thread, we have someone lined up to
work on that. Woo!
A general status update wrt the merges is a good idea. And it would be
nice to wrap up the 2014 goals thread, and perhaps summarise that. I
think these two things would be good for the blog.
As for Peter Cooper's suggestion. Perhaps we can keep a list of places
to ping about news on the wiki. And then we can integrate this in our
promotion procedures for big events, blog posts, and so on.
Please feel free to start these things!
