[ANNC] StrongLoop acquired by IBM - what does it mean for LoopBack?

[Al Tsang]

Hey Folks,

By now you've probably have received word or read about our acquisition by IBM.  This is a big win for everyone because of the validation that it provides to Node.js for the enterprise.  The enterprise is a key source of revenue that fuels all software including open source, with many projects backed by commercial companies such as ours.

For more information regarding what this means to LoopBack and ExpressJS - please read my blog - https://strongloop.com/strongblog/ibm-express-loopback-node-js/.

A big shout out and thanks to all members of the LB community.  This propels LoopBack, your adoption and support further and faster.

Al 

CTO @StrongLoop

Any plans in the pipeline to provide a official couchdb or cloudant connector to integrate with IBM's Cloudant service?

Hope this will give a better stable and mature framework for the future.
Regards

Hope after that Loppback's support will get better, you begin to answer questions here and on Stackoverflow better. For now support is miserable.

Paul - looks like it is here - https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/2015/09/10/getting-started-node-js-loopback-framework-ibm-cloudant/

Thanks Matan.

The example uses a community connector for couchdb which doesn't seem to be actively maintained. Would much rather prefer a official connector from IBM or Strongloop.
