The actual release yes, but the duty of the Release Manager is to take care of the whole process. That's starting with checking if the thing is ready and publishing it internally for a preview, then achieving community consensus (which for us means a voting on dev@freemarker, and if that passes then another voting on general@incubator), then actually pushing the distribution. But http://freemarker.org/committer-howto.html#making-releases describes all these steps. (There are also official resources like http://www.apache.org/dev/#releases and http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html, but the point of the how-to is that you don't have to read them.) As you will note if you read the above, you will need a PGP signature and certain rights to commit into some repos and to do things on Nexus. So you will have to start with requesting those rights. > I'm asking this because my laptop got broken before the last week > and I'm waiting for a new laptop to be delivered this week.

If in the light of the above you are still willing to do this, I will wait. > Regards, > > Woonsan > > On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 2:12 PM, Daniel Dekany <ddek...@freemail.hu> wrote: >> Could somebody with commit rights volunteer for this?
