FYI Jordan, some projects call the vote on dev@ first to straighten out any issues (not waste time of general@ on project specific issues, like test failures etc...), then call the vote on general@. However others I've worked with call the vote on both lists at the same time. It's up to you.

Become familiar with this page: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html Remember - at Apache you are releasing source, not binary. See this section and the next: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#notes-on-source-only-releases Most folks post their release to people.apache.org. See ambari as an example of "how to release" https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Releasing+Ambari. Regards, Patrick
