In his recent blog post , Damien Katz described how he (with the help of a lot of people) got his Open Source project CouchDB to version 1.0.
Trying to follow (at least some of) Damien's tips, I now try to explain the motivation behind CouchDBCP, and what it aims to be.
CouchDBCP
CouchDBCP is an acronym for CouchDB C lustering P roxy. Basically, it's a reverse proxy (a.k.a. gateway) for maintaining CouchDB clusters . Its objective …
Break's Over. Big Mover. Couchbase changing the Game.
There is some seriously cool stuff coming up at CouchConf on July 29 . One the things I'm most excited about is Richard Hipp, creator of SQLite, will join me on stage to talk about our current joint project. Can't tell you what it is right now, but if you feel the Earth shift a little that day, you'll know why...and be sure to watch this space on July 29 to learn the details!

CouchDB World Tour Coming! Along with Alan McKean, I and other Couchbase staff will be doing 5 training sessions in 5 different cities starting in March. I'll be teaching the San Francisco one :) We've developed some incredible material that I'm really excited to present. So go ahead and sign up, and bring a friend!
Claire was so inspired she wrote a song about it:
I've got some news I'm extremely excited to finally announce: a merger between CouchOne and Membase !
A little background, I met James Phillips, the co-founder of Membase, for the first time in December. I'd heard a little about Membase up to that point, but I was most impressed with some of their high profile users. For example, Membase is a key part of Zynga, where giving millions of users a fast, low latency experience is critical.

CouchDB does solve a hard problem - it automatically synchronizes data on mobile devices (so far, on Android phones), both when the phones are online and when they go offline and return.
Madison Williams is available in the Bay Area
My younger brother Madison is looking to relocate to the SF Bay Area.
He's a young guy with a lot of talent and lots of real world experience designing and creating web apps. Most recently he's created Arik , cool blog software built on PHP and CouchDB.
He'll be in Bay area (my house to be exact!) Oct. 23-27 for some job interviews. Contact him before he's all booked up!
Resume: http://www.madisonwilliams.net/resume.php
Today, I get a little help from Rebecca. She's writing a CouchApp, an application that is served right out of CouchDB and that lives in the browser. It has no middle tier application server in Ruby or Java. The application and display logic is written in JavaScript, the user interface is HTML & CSS, the backend is CouchDB and uses Ajax to shove JSON back and forth.
