Hey Jukka, Quick question.
For part 4, I am assuming we start that second vote thread to gene...@incubator.apache.org after the first vote has successfully passed? Or can we start both threads at the same time? I am about to start the vote thread for this mailing list. -Steve On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 3:30 PM, Jukka Zitting <jukka.zitt...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi, > > On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 11:31 PM, Jukka Zitting <jukka.zitt...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > I'll follow up with the proper release process in a moment, [...] > > Here's the sequence of steps that's needed.
