[REPORT] CouchDB

Report from the Apache CouchDB project [Jan Lehnardt]

## Description: 
   NoSQL document database using HTTP, JSON, and MapReduce 
   
## Activity: 
 - Massive uptake in marketing@ activity, specifically pertaining
   the framing of “The CouchDB Story”, i.e. how we communicate what
   we do to the world.
 - Switched website to git deploy, seeing immediate uptake in
   website contributions.
 - Ongoing effort to get over the last humps for our major 2.0
   release.
 - Accepted the Nano project (a Node.js library for CouchDB) into
   Apache CouchDB. This took a while because IP-clearance for a
   GitHub project is, well, interesting.
 - CouchDB will participage in the Google Summer of Code with at
   least one project.
 - Community vote for a new project logo. The PMC is now working
   with the most favoured designers for a final selection.
 - (Not necessarily Board Report material, but still a big dael,
   so I am going to include it: CouchDB made the ThoughtWorks
   Technology Radar: http://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/techniques
   in the “Offline First” category \o/)
 - Finally, I’d like to voice my appreciation for the new board
   report tool. Thank you all who made this happen!

Too early, we are still going through the legal motions. Actual work
hasn’t started yet :)

How are the feelings about the result, so far? Has this been a good
move, or is it too early to tell?

As discussed before, the CouchDB-Python project would consider
becoming part of the ASF project, as well.

Cheers,
