I don't know what's all involved in putting out a release for 
sqlalchemy-migrate but if there is a way that I can help, please let me 
know.  I'll try to catch dripton in IRC today.

As for CI with DB2, it's in the blueprint as a work item, I just don't 
know enough about the infra side of things to get that going, so I'd 
need some help there.

DB2 Express-C is the free version which is the plan to run the unit 
tests in CI, but the only problem I see with that is it's a trial 
license and I wouldn't want to have to redo images or licenses every 3 
months or however long it lasts. I would think that IBM would be able to 
provide a permanent license for CI though, otherwise our alternative is 
running the tests in-house and reporting the results back (something 
like what the nova virt drivers have to do and vmware is already doing).

Thanks,

Matt Riedemann
