Hi everyone, ... just wanted to chime in quickly and give you an update on my setup status; I'm using my Apache email address "[email protected]"; on Jira and Confluence the username is "aleks"
- created my Apache GPG key; I guess it needs to be added to https://downloads.apache.org/fineract/KEYS - I had a first read of the release process https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/How+to+Release+Apache+Fineract <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/How%2Bto%2BRelease%2BApache%2BFineract&sa=D&source=hangouts&ust=1596542482991000&usg=AFQjCNGX48IGBCFcIWO_zWU3wGwt-dyWng> (has anything changed? please let me know) - it seems that I have enough permissions on Fineract Jira (can't hurt to check that again) - I think some permissions Fineract's Confluence space are missing (can't edit pages) - permissions to be able to create releases on Github repository are missing - anything else I missed? @Michael Vorburger <[email protected]> could you help me out to get these last steps done? Maybe we can have a short meeting to sort this out? When this is done I'd like to get things started and announce the 2 weeks code freeze before the release date. Looking forward to helping out.
