Hi Suresh,

First of all, major kudos on making this release!

Here's my feedback, I don't think any of these are blockers

- INSTALL says version "0.14"
- NOTICE says "Apache Airavata
Copyright 2014 The Apache Software Foundation". Should that be Copyright 
2014-2019? [1]

Thanks for the signature verification notes. Regarding that, I had to install 
the signing key

gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 617DDBAD

Then I was able to verify the signatures.


Thanks,

Marcus
