For podling release purposes, only IPMC (Incubator PMC) votes are binding. If we can get 3 +1 from IPMC members on the dev list, then we can do lazy consensus on the vote thread on general@. Otherwise, we need to use the vote on the general@ to get the remaining votes for the release. > > * Is a release required to come out of Jenkins or can it be from a local > machine? > It can come from local machine, which, AFAIK, is the standard way of doing so.

The release maven artifacts will be staged in the repository.apache.org (you might need to request INFRA to create a profile for curator), and once the release is approved, you can publish it in repository.apache.org and that will make it trough maven central. > > Thanks! > > -Jordan > > -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://twitter.com/lresende1975 http://lresende.blogspot.com/
