Hi Laszlo,
For "3. We need to create a feature page" we also want to update the
site-wide banners and the main page slider. Also the footer should point
to NetBeans 10.
I may help with what. Last time I submitted a PR against the
incubator-netbeans-website that had to be slightly modified in the last
minute (after the official announcement, I think) to include proper
checksums in the web page.
This webpage thing is a bit of a chicken-egg problem, the announcement
should include a link to the download page, but the download page has to
have a link to the official announcement. I imagine we have to think
which is first: if the chicken or the egg :-D
Cheers,
Antonio

Hi Geertjan,
First, my timezone is Pacific time. I've read through the docs. It seems
I'm going to have a bit more task, than before, but I guess the first
time was the hardest one.
1. After we finalize the scope, merge whatever PR is out to be merged,
we need to create a release branch, then it needs to be cleansed
from those parts which were not ready to be delivered.
2. On the binaries we need to decide whether shall we create binary
release flavors like PHP, Java SE or if it got ready in time Jakarta EE
3. We need to create a feature (New and Noteworthy) page
4. In JIRA we need a new version (or two versions for 10.0 an 11.0).
BTW I do not know if the 9.0 has been marked as closed. Do we have a
JIRA admin guy or we need to requests these modifications?
5. Once the code is shaping up on release branch, creating tags,
binaries and signatures are ok.
6. There will be some voting
7. We need to put 9.0 version in the archives.
8. I also try for a real snap for Linux release this time, I'm not that
far from that.
Have I missed any major important thing?
P.S.: I'm planning to formulate the release process as a JIRA task with
detailed bite sized sub-tasks, so it can be tracked, and probably cloned
for further releases.

Hi Laszlo,
The things that are involved in managing the release are described in
"Producing a Release Candidate" below:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+Release+README
It would be good to go through that and see where you anticipate problems
and just get an overview of what you'll be doing.

And what's your timezone? People working on Apache NetBeans come from
all
timezones, I believe.

I hope timezone shift won't be an issue.

Some potential candidates for this role, i.e., which is pretty
impressive,
the fact that we have this many who could IMHO already do this from a
perspective of insight, though the main problem in most/each cases is
probably time:
- Antonio Vieiro
- Sven Reimers
- Matthias Bläsing
- Junichi Yamamoto
- Eric Barboni
- Neil C. Smith
- Thilina Ranathunga
- Laszlo Kishalmi
- John McDonnell
- Wade Chandler
There may be more and I apologize for omitting anyone else who has
been
involved for some time, committed quite a bit in one way or
another, and
has shown IMHO the technical interest needed for this.
Any volunteers from the above, or someone else -- I am sure you'll be
supported a lot by Emilian, who was the previous release manager, as
well
as myself and the rest of the community of course.
Thanks,
Gj

Hi all,
Following our roadmap...
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/
Apache+NetBeans+Release+Roadmap
...we are approaching feature freeze.
A release manager is needed, Emilian did a fantastic job in the
Apache
NetBeans 9 release, and I am sure he can provide support and
advice as
needed.
Several indicated interest in this role the last time we discussed
this,
e.g., here:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/fc7d4a9d71c595f964a0e0ed102b3b
25305d3d2dd77135853cedb70e@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E
The release manager needs to branch off the release on Sep 30 and
not
let
any features in after that, only bug fixes. Right now, the
integration
with
JDK 11 and PHP looks solid, Java EE, JavaScript, Groovy, would
all be
great
to include -- but people need to step forward fast now to make that
happen
otherwise that will be shifted to the next release, early next year,
while
all those features will of course be available as is from the 8.2
Plugin
Portal.
Hopefully we could then have Apache NetBeans 10 Vote Candidate 1
or 2
ready for Oracle Code One as a beta or preview release, with the
final
release during November.
Thanks,
Gj
