The document discusses InfluxDB 2.0 and its journey to becoming generally available as open source software. It provides an overview of where InfluxDB 2.0 is currently in development, outlines the challenges of delivering it as open source versus cloud software, and outlines the remaining work needed and timeline to achieve a 2.0 open source general availability release in early fall 2020. It also discusses the vision for InfluxDB 2.0 as a platform for working with time series data beyond just a database.
