There are three primary things: SDO, DAS and SCA. For each of those there are different artifacts we are releasing:
* the source distro (zip and tgz)
* the binary distro (zip and tgz)
* the maven artifacts that will loaded into the m2-incubator- repository (jar and pom for each)

The first two of those are packaged distros (a big jar/tgz the user downloads/installs). The maven artifacts are posted to the repo so that people using maven can download them. Some things like the poms and plugins are only distributed this way.

These three have a dependency on two maven artifacts (the parent pom and the buildtools) in order to build; i.e. in order to build a sdo, das or sca source distro they need to be able to locate the parent pom and buildtools. For this to work we need to have a released version of these available when we tag sdo, das, sca so they can build. I went into the details of this in a previous reply.

In M1 we did not have the separate distros and bundled everything together. We decided with M2 to make this modular which is why we need to release the dependencies first (which is this vote). This is identical to how other projects coordinate releases (e.g. Axis2 needing to get releases of the WS commons projects first).

We can still release the three primary things at the same time (which would mean one vote on all three) or we can release them separately (one vote on each for three in all), or in some combination thereof.

I'd really like to understand what is being proposed for all the different things being released and what votes we're going to be asking for from the
Incubator PMC before I'd be willing to +1 this.

What is the M2 release - one thing and a single IPMC vote or lots of things and lots of votes? I guess from this and what you said on IRC M2 is several things which makes me worry about getting all the IPMC votes through in a
reasonable time, especially with the C++ release also being imminent.

Could you list out what you see as the things being released and the votes
we're going to be asking for?
