Thank you Dave for the release announcement. It will be great if we send the release update on annou...@apache.org list as well.
Purpose: 1. Wider audience reach The general ASF announce@a.o list is the ASF's official notification mailing list and has more than 5,000 recipients. 2. We publish a weekly foundation blog (Apache News Round-up) which includes details about the ASF activities of the past week. This blog also includes the details of the project's release updates of the past week (this information is fetched from annou...@apache.org list). *Note*: To post on annou...@apache.org list please use your apache.org mail address, because this list rejects mails from the non apache.org mail Ids. For more information please refer [1]. [1] http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-announcements HTH! P.S. Please ignore my mail if you have already sent the mail on announce and it in moderation.
