Now that we got our first release out (and kind of know what we are doing), I plan on setting up a daily build. To do this I will need to change the Geronimo version to 1.0-SNAPSHOT.

Right now its a PITA having DEV versions for everything as I've no idea what version it is & Maven won't auto-download when things change. I never know what version I'm using.
This will cause the maven build to check if a new version of the Geronimo jars on the ibiblio repository each time you build, which has couple of drawbacks. If you are online the build will be slower, as maven will contact ibiblio for each module build, and if you happen to build while the jars are being uploaded to ibiblio, you may get some jars from ibiblio and some from your local build. Both of these can be fixed by building with 'maven -o' (offline mode), but you have to remember to type it.
Or you can put
maven.mode.online=false
into your build.properties in your geronimo directory (or home directory). Then you'll be working of a fixed snapshot & Maven won't update anything. Then just toggle the switch whenever you're ready to live life on the edge, in the fast lane :)
