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,
Sally = = = = = vox +1 617 921 8656gvox +1 646 598 4616skype sallykhudairi

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:
