Abstract

Join us for a riveting tale of how CouchDB ships a (nearly) solid 1.0, then gets abandoned by its original creator and manages to keep setting standards for the database world regardless.

This talk is for anyone who's wondering "What's up with CouchDB" through the lens of the many things that can go right and wrong with an Open Source project.

We will explore the lessons learned from the past six years of open source database development and how the CouchDB development community ensures its ongoing success.
