As I write this, it is almost 11am in Miami. In the "typical" release process, if I cut an RC at 3am Monday in Miami (midnight for me in Seattle), we are supposed to leave the vote open for 72 hours (not a requirement, just good practice) so the vote will not close until 3am Thursday. Then if we announce the release say at 10am Thursday, that will have only given the mirrors about 7 hours to propagate the release, so a significant number of folks who immediately run out to install the release will run into problems. But we do have options. One is to announce the release on Thursday but tell folks to wait another N hours before installing. Another is to shorten the 72 hours to something less. And another is not to announce at all. I only have one vote in the matter. The rest of the PMC will decide. There won't be an RC until enough folks write in to say they are ready to review one and we'll arrive at consensus on whether to shorten the voting period or not. Announcements at the conference help draw attention to both the project and Apache and are encouraged by the ApacheCon folks. But we are not obligated in any way. Thanks, -Alex
