I am unclear about the build status and what has been added and if all the
configs are in the test list.  As I read the email from Xiang Xiao - all the
builds do not build yet.  I thought in the past ALL the builds were built
before a release.

Subject: Re: Progress on making a release

With the nightly build in place, we would want to wait for some clean
builds to consider a release.
We want to make sure that the code is stable enough.

However, we can make progress by taking care of some of Apache's
requirements.
Justin, summarized what we should do in an earlier thread. [1]
First thing is to created DISCLAIMER, LICENSE and NOTICE files.
I created a draft PR
(https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/pull/392) where I added
these files.
Please check it and share your thoughts.

We also need to define our release process.
Something like:
Create a branch from master that will serve as a release candidate.
Make the necessary modifications in preparation of a release (update
release notes, documentation, etc.)
Accept only critical bug fixes to the RC, other PRs should still go to
master.

This is not a release process proposition, just a draft that I'm
writing in a hurry.
We also need to agree on versioning numbers and how bugs found after
the release should be incorporated.
Please share your thoughts.
