I think the last thing we need to do before getting the actual
graduation started is the test release (test snapshot).
Christian Geisert reported some problems with the downloads from the
docs.ofbiz.org site. Has anyone else tried these? To help get around
possible problems with these (and traffic and memory limits on that
server...) I have also put these on people.apache.org. See below this
email for links there.
Anyway, to the real point... When will we be ready to vote on this
test release as a community? After a successful vote amongst
ourselves (with ppmc members having the binding votes), as I
understand it the next step after this is to submit it to the
Incubator PMC for review and voting, and then... I guess we ask for a
graduation vote...
It would be nice if as many people as possible could test these files
out, focusing on making sure that it works for you (ie you can
unarchive and run it), and that the MD5 checksum checks out, and that
the signing with my PGP key also checks out, oh and that all of the
legal notices and such are in place. If you want to help out you
don't have to do all of these things, just do what you can (and want
to).
Thanks in advance for everyone's help getting to this point. Now we
just have a little bit more to go... Unless this isn't possible for a
few key people, or problems are found with this test release, it
would be great to get the community test release vote finished this
week.
