Or, if we want to start a new thread as suggested here by Emilian, to vote in a release manager, let's do that. However, we need to do something -- to be honest, having a release manager in Laszlo is great since he's done it before, he's enthusiastic, and he's volunteered, and he wanted to do it partly because he'd done it before and wanted to get a firmer grasp on the experience before handing it over to someone else. Having Neil shadow him would be great for the next round.
Note also that we're already slipping right now in that we do not have our first voting candidate as scheduled: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/NetCAT+11.0+Schedule Gj On Tue, Feb 12, 2019 at 8:30 AM Geertjan Wielenga < geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Well, Laszlo volunteered and was happy to take on the task -- Neil > volunteered to shadow the release manager.
