Hi all, I would like to call a VOTE to release Apache Cloudberry (Incubating) 2.2.0-rc3.
The 2.2.0-rc1 and 2.2.0-rc2 was cancelled because of License issues, see details in rc1: https://lists.apache.org/thread/xqkkmrp9knfgnoy1pmfcqxobs0m30b5l rc2: https://lists.apache.org/thread/cp38o038gc9q5lo930cnhp5ft7qllhxb The majority of LICENSE fixes have been addressed in rc1, but the most insidious ones were still waiting for us. Some of these are 21 years old and relate to the company's founders of Greenplum. I believe we have addressed them too. ## Release Candidate Artifacts This vote covers the source release artifacts for Apache Cloudberry (Incubating) 2.2.0-rc3, including the core Cloudberry project and the components cloudberry-backup, cloudberry-pxf and cloudberry-go-libs.
