A bit late, but we are almost ready for the first Apache release. I am waiting for INFRA to configure the Nexus repository for the artifacts. In the meanwhile, I fixed all the files needed for the release (or at least, I hope so, SAMOA-37 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMOA-37> ).
There are two outstanding PRs that need to be merged before the release, SAMOA-34 and SAMOA-36. If somebody can have a look at them it would be great. In the meanwhile, I managed to prepare the release artifacts (the source distribution). It seems we have some problem with the maven javadoc plugin (seems something related to MJAVADOC-398 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-398>). It craps out without finding the right dependencies. I have disabled the automatic creation of the Javadoc for the release, as we have to publish it manually on the website anyway. I'll post the RC and a VOTE thread as soon as the PRs are in and I have tested the deployment of the artifacts. Cheers, -- Gianmarco
