[VOTE] CouchDB Logo – Round #3 (ongoing, SEE THREAD)

The third round to vote on the CouchDB logo is still ongoing. The options to vote for are:

Please send your votes (+1 / 0 / -1) for each proposed candidate, so we can get an impression of which one(s) the community members like and which they don’t. The vote is open for non-committers as well.

Can replication be setup between different CouchDB versions? (see thread)

Question: A user asked if it’s possible to setup replication between different CouchDB versions, e.g. 1.2 and 1.6?

Answer: yes, it’s possible. It wouldn’t need special operations or setup to let it work from the start. Compaction of databases and views wouldn’t harm though, and would ensure that all the new format features are being applied.

Time to relax!

Even more crucial, you must try your best every time because it is the effort and the practice that drives the learning process. They are essential, even if you fail.” – Your first choice is rarely the optimal choice: 5 lessons on being wrong

  • “If you are a man, you are part of rape culture. I know … that sounds rough. You’re not a rapist, necessarily. But you do perpetuate the attitudes and behaviors commonly referred to as rape culture. You may be thinking, ‘Now, hold up, Zaron! You don’t know me, homey! I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let you say I’m some sorta fan of rape. That’s not me, man!’ I totally know how you feel. That was pretty much exactly my response when someone told me I was a part of rape culture.” – A Gentlemen’s Guide To Rape Culture
