I am coming to realize that I can't do anything by filing tickets with INFRA, which I was doing because I thought that that was supposed to be the way to get things done most efficiently. I have also tried the "self-help" site also to no avail.
So I am now informed that everything has to go through the mentors. So after many days of delay, here are the things that still need to get done: 1) Setup and access to JIRA tracking. INFRA-18659. "I need to setup issue tracking for upcoming releases. And apparently I need to do that for each release. So how am I supposed to do that?" Is this required for snapshots also? 2) Setup and access to Web landing site. INFRA-18672. "We need at least a simple landing page at datasketches.apache.org that redirects to our current website at datasketches.github.io. Once it exists and I have permission to edit it I can set up the notice that our project is in incubation." 3) Setup and access to personal website apache.org/~leerho. INFRA-18652. I am ready to try to do some "snapshot" releases, in order to test the release process, and to enable dependencies for other of our source repos. It is my understanding that I DON'T need to do a vote in order to do that. Is that correct? If I have to go through the vote process on every snapshot, this migration will slow to a snail's pace. Editorial: I really don't understand why I can't be designated "Release Manager" status with adequate permissions to get things done. Not being able to use these tools now means that I am not learning how to use them eventually when we graduate. This is very frustrating. Lee. Lee.
