Re: Fw: Apache CouchDB 2.0 beta annc. Nov 17

Hi Lynnette and Sally,

I have hoped, that others answer first to the press release draft and to
the question about possible appointments with reporters. As I have stated
before, I don't feel ready to give an interview because we do not have
consolidated info about what we will answer about CouchDB 2.0. Or I should
better say, I am not ready.

Sorry that this sounds a bit like a blocker from my side but I am not
willing to give interviews with the fear that there are to many questions I
am not able to answer.

Thanks so much to both of you for all your efforts. I think we need a bit
more time here.

All the best

Andy

Hi Andy,

That's completely fair.

I'm signing off for the evening, but will loop back in tomorrow and we can
take it from there, perhaps with some community consensus.

Thanks,
Lynnette

> > Hope all is well! I was recently in touch about Cloudant Local, a new

introduce

Apache
> > CouchDB™ project.
> >
> > On November 17 at ApacheCon Europe, the CouchDB community will announce
a
> > developer preview release of CouchDB 2.0. The beta software adds
improved

> > easier to replicate data across different infrastructure and
synchronize
> > changes to multiple copies of that data at large scale.
> >
> > As Cloudant has grown as a company, so has our commitment to Apache
> > CouchDB [1], [2], [3]. Now, as part of IBM, we plan to grow that
commitment
> > further [4], as CouchDB-style database replication becomes a key piece
of
> > IBM’s cloud data management strategy [5].
> >
> > Lena, Andy, and Noah would be happy to speak with you or introduce you
to

CouchDB

connect
