I'm excited to announce that CouchOne, the company Damien, J Chris and I = founded in late 2009, is merging with the company Membase to become = Couchbase. Together we will be developing a product, also called = Couchbase, that is based on CouchDB and Membase / memcached technology. = Our goal is to build a simple, fast and elastic database that's gonna = kick some ass. I'll leave the details of that for you to read on the = websites we've put up =97 start here: http://www.couchbase.com/ Instead of dwelling on the merger or technology, I'd like to address = likely questions about the relationship between Couchbase and Apache = CouchDB. It is simple, really: at CouchOne we were 100% committed on the = Open Source side of things and at Couchbase we will continue to do so at = the same degree. In terms of organisation, Couchbase will be it's own = independent Open Source project that has Apache CouchDB and memcached as = dependencies, but adds a few things of its own that warrant being its = own project. Our combined engineering team, led by Damien, will continue = to contribute to Apache CouchDB in the same way as we've been to date, = only more. I can't wait to share with you what we'll come up with :) Thanks everybody for your support, past and future. The CouchDB = community is by far my favourite and I hope you will accept Couchbase as = a new member of this community :) If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me privately, but = I'd like to avoid highjacking the list for this thread.
