Basically the steps to release are as follows: - Propose a release - Perform any necessary QA to verify stability, etc. - Generate and post a release candidate - Call for a vote on the release
The first couple steps can be performed any time. Todd has historically done step 3, so if he is available he will be the most expedient. The last step involves the PMC members validating the release to ensure that it adheres to ASF release guidelines and generally goes pretty quickly. I'd suggest sending an email to the dev list proposing the release and asking for assistance testing. Once it is collectively agreed that the release is stable enough, you can go on to the next steps. Make sense? G On Aug 5, 2011, at 1:46 PM, Roger L.
