Hi, my vote is +1 (non-binding) PPMC Vote but also +1 (binding) IPMC Vote (as I think the best practice is nowadays to also report IPMC Votes that where cast during PPMC Vote).
I checked: - Downloaded staged artefacts - Validated Hases and Signatures - Build source bundle (mvn clean verify) - Verified existence of README; RELEASE_NOTES, LICENSE and NOTICES - [RM] Verified RELEADE_NOTES and README are the same as staged ones - checked the contents of LICENSE, NOTICE, README, RELEASE_NOTES - source bundle contains NO jars - Checked no snapshot references - UNPACKed the binary artefact and check the contents of LICENSE-binary and NOTICE-binary - [Not necessary] Started Server, started Client, Client connects sucessfully One minor issue found: One minor thing here: Hive in NOTICE is stated as 2008 - 2018... should it be 2019 here?

Important: All PMCs please note that you have to CHECK the release artifacts [1] (see below) before being allowed to vote “+1”, see [3,4]. Apache IoTDB (Incubating) 0.8.0 has been staged under [1] and it’s time to vote on accepting it for release. All Maven artifacts are available under [2]. If approved we will seek final release approval from the IPMC. Voting will be open for 72hr. A minimum of 3 binding +1 votes and more binding +1 than binding -1 are required to pass. Release tag: release/0.8.0 Hash for the release tag: 2f4da03b05d1c063eaaca622c68de86abe35de22 Per [3] "Before voting +1 [P]PMC members are required to download the signed source code package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on their own platform, along with also verifying that the package meets the requirements of the ASF policy on releases." You can achieve the above by following [4]. [ ] +1 accept (indicate what you validated - e.g. performed the non-RM items in [4]) [ ] -1 reject (explanation required) [1] https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/iotdb/0.8.0/rc3 [2] https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheiotdb-1003 [3] https://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release [4] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IOTDB/Validating+a+staged+Release
