Notifying the PMC of an impending release

[Rick Hillegas]

When do I notify the PMC that 10.2 is coming? According to step (15) at 
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbySnapshotOrRelease, I need to 
involve the PMC as soon as we start voting on a release candidate. 
Should I give the PMC a heads-up some time before that?

Thanks,
-Rick
