It was my understanding that we now own XMLBeans, and no board discussion is necessary to release under http://www.apache.org/dist/xmlbeans/release
I think it was just some of the attic PMC that was bringing up the issue, not the board. In fact, I believe the board's response was JFDI. So we own the distribution channel, the web site, Jira, and everything else associated with XMLBeans. So we should just keep things simple and continue distributing, and updating as if we were the XMLBeans PMC (which we are). -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Beeker [mailto:kiwiwi...@apache.org] Sent: Monday, July 02, 2018 7:07 PM To: dev@poi.apache.org Subject: Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Re: XMLBeans 3.0.0 release vote > Would it make sense to change the links ... ? Yes, that makes sense - please change it. I had to install Forrest 0.8 and needed to start the site build via /<forrest_home>/bin/forrest site plus adding the permissions to download forrest plugins. I.e. committing xmlbeans/build/site will publish to the website directly I didn't want to push the announcement before the website and release directory is on a current state. There are still some (2.4.0...) leftovers on the XMLBeans website which I need to deal with tomorrow ... but feel free to make any changes earlier - it would be good if all (POI) PMCs have a look at the old/new/modified XMLBeans website, so we don't relaunch with too many old links I've put the release artifacts now under http://www.apache.org/dist/poi/xmlbeans/release/ as I currently don't want to go the full way of discussing further XMLBeans community steps (including a separate release directory under the dist root) with the board.
