We are up to the stage of waiting for the mirrors to update.
Would someone else please send the announcement. However,
you need to wait until the website is updated and the
distribution mirrors are ready.

It will not be me, I'm about to leave the office for the day. Can
someone else in Europe please step up to do this.
The mirrors part is easy, just watch http://www.apache.org/mirrors/
and decide when is a fair tradeoff. The main eu.apache.org mirror
received it at UTC 02:00 (so 6.5 hours ago).
The website part was tricky, but should now automatically happen.
It is rsynced from people.apache.org every two hours. After the
last run i did ssh people.apache.org and removed everything,
then did a new 'svn co' of forrest/site repository. So on the
next run we should have our shiny new website. That should be
around one hour away.
Removed *everything*. Does that mean the plugin docs as well? These are
deployed separately.
I'll ensure these are OK during the afternoon (I'm at a clients but
typing "ant deploy" now and again shuldn't be a problem for me.
There are a few other things to finish off in RELEASE_PROCESS.txt
Can someone else do those, e.g. Jira needs tweaks.
Again, I can't do this today. Can someone else find half an hour to
finish off?
I am away out to dinner and cards tonight. Celebratration time.
You deserve a good run at the cards table for all your hard work. Good luck.
