As part of the Apache release process, we need to select a person to be
the "official" release manager for Felix. The release manager is the
person who is responsible for making sure all of the T's are crossed and
all of the I's are dotted when we go to make a release (e.g., making
sure we have the appropriate LICENSE and NOTICE everywhere they are
supposed to be, tagging the release, signing the release, etc.).
For the last week or two I have been working with Karl Pauls on creating
the example release archive previously mentioned, which can be found here:
http://people.apache.org/~rickhall/felix-src-0.8.0-incubator-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz
During the course of that time, I found that Karl had a deep knowledge
and almost perverse enjoyment about the rules surrounding the Apache
release process. :-)
As a result, I nominate Karl Pauls to be Felix' official release manager.
If people have anyone else they would like to nominate, please mention
them on this thread so we can get this position filled and voted on.
Go, go!
