GitHub user Zheaoli edited a discussion: [VOTE] Proposal: Adding Cultural 
References to Release Titles

Dear Apache OpenDAL Community,

I would like to initiate a special vote regarding an enhancement to our release 
process that aims to showcase our community's cultural diversity while making 
releases more engaging.

Background:
Release management can be a demanding task. Many open source projects have 
successfully incorporated cultural references in their releases, adding a 
personal touch while maintaining professionalism. For example, the runc project 
has included various cultural references in their release titles:

1. [runc v1.2.1 -- "No existe una escuela que enseñe a 
vivir."](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/releases/tag/v1.2.1)
2. [runc v1.2.0 -- 
"できるときにできることをやるんだ。それが今だ。"](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/releases/tag/v1.2.0)
3. [v1.1.15 -- "How, dear sir, did you cross the flood? By not stopping, 
friend, and by not straining I crossed the 
flood."](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/releases/tag/v1.1.15)

Proposal:
1. Process:
   - Each version's release process will begin with a discussion in GitHub 
Discussions
   - A release manager will be selected for the version
   - The release manager can propose a subtitle for the release

2. Subtitle Guidelines:
   - Can include quotes from movies, TV shows, animations, books, or other 
cultural sources
   - Must be non-political and non-offensive. [Apache OpenDAL Code of 
Conduct](https://github.com/apache/opendal?tab=coc-ov-file)
   - Will become a permanent part of the project's history
   - Can be accepted without any -1 vote.

3. Implementation:
   - Regular release process remains unchanged
   - The subtitle will be added to the official release title
   - Example: "v0.51.0 -- 'ソロキャンは寂しさも 楽しむものなんだって'". The template of the release 
title will be added into the release guideline
   

Context:
This proposal evolved from an initial idea to celebrate Yuru Camp△ Season 4 in 
v0.51.0. Through community discussions, it has grown into an opportunity to 
showcase the diversity and personality of the Apache OpenDAL community.

Voting Guidelines:
- Duration: Minimum 72 hours
- Format:
  +1 : approve
  +0 : no opinion
  -1 : disapprove (please provide reason)

I will send a PR to update the Release Guideline after this proposal has been 
accepted.

Special thanks to @frostming @yuchanns @Xuanwo @tisonkun for their valuable 
input during preliminary discussions.

Best regards,
Zheao Li (Manjusaka)
