Hi all, I began the release process for 0.7.0 last week, but it has taken longer than expected (doesn't it always!). The first rc failed, so we basically need to start again - there's a critical bug to be fixed, and then rc1 needs to be made and voted on.
I'm not going to have time to complete the whole rc cycle before I go on vacation, so I'm calling for one of the Brooklyn committers to take over as Release Manager. You'll be in charge of marshalling our community around resolving the outstanding issues, building the release and publishing it to the pre-release area, and calling votes on brooklyn-dev and then incubator-general. If both votes pass, then you publish the artifacts to the release area, update the website, and announce the release. If either vote fails, then you can either start again with rc2, or pass the RM role onto another volunteer for them to make rc2. I have comprehensive notes that have been 80% converted into process documentation, as well as scripts and helpers, that should make the process fairly straightforward. Is there a Brooklyn committer willing and able to be RM? Thanks! Richard.
