Hi Alex, Thank you for offering your support.
Tiago and I have been working closely on the 10.3.0 release, and we're in a good position overall. The remaining work is tracked in GitHub: https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-issues/issues/2285 I am working on: 10.3.x+ stream: Re-write drools release jobs to be local scripts invoked in Apache Jenkins and remove old ones. 10.3.x+ stream: Re-write kie-tools release jobs to be local scripts invoked in Apache Jenkins and remove old ones. Please feel free to take a look and pick up anything that interests you. We'd be happy to have your help in closing out the remaining work for the release. Thanks, Kusuma.
