Dave, Let me clarify a bit. I do apologize for being a bit brief on my response, I just had ankle surgery and am not feeling that great afterwards :/
To be honest, I think Usergrid is about 75% there. I think if we clear up the administrative stuff we can get very close towards graduation, but I think having one more release, which is completely clean, will be that true proof the podling's ready to rock. What needs to be updated on here? http://incubator.apache.org/projects/usergrid.html - Podling Name Search - since Apigee donated Usergrid, I'm assuming Apigee has already signed over the name to the ASF. Do we have record of this somewhere? - If you have a full list of committers at this point, we should make sure the page gets updated with everyones username. - Dates are important for many of these sections. It seems to me like much of this is complete, but I personally don't know the dates in which it occurred. We should make sure those get updated.

We may have got everything, but I know the 1.0 vote passed on general@ after a few rounds of back and forth and yet missed that grizzly file. I think we had fewer back and forth's this time, but as Justin mentioned there were still some gaps with the NOTICE/LICENSE files. I'm not sure if your plan at this point is to merge 1.x into 2.x to be able to cut a final 2.x release. > > Let's talk about the holes we need to fix in the release process. What are > they?

A clean release where we know everything in the source bundle is properly AL v2 is a requirement though. Basically, everything under "Verify distribution rights" is where I think the struggle was for this last release. > - Dave > > > > > > On Thu Jan 22 2015 at 4:02:15 PM Lewis John Mcgibbney < > > [email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Hi dev@, > > > Congratulation on UG 1.0.1-incubating.
