Hi all,

Here are a few observations/ideas, based on the last few releases:

1. *Release teams.* This is an idea by Neil -- let's have for each release a 
team of about 5 or 6 people focused on doing specific things, e.g., let's have 
at least two release managers, Eric did a really great job, in general even 
greater would be two people (e.g., Neil and me) to keep in sync and call each 
other once a week around the release, plus a few people to create binaries 
(e.g., John McDonnell who does the Mac OS X installer), as well as a few others 
(e.g., Ömer Halit Çizmeci did great work on documentation) and a few testers 
dedicated to the release, e.g., one or two per operating system. If we like 
this idea, who'd like to be on the 12.6 release team?
Speak up. :-)

2. *The next major release.* My proposal here is simple -- we should do Apache 
NetBeans 13 whenever we have incorporated nb-javac (which we can now legally 
do) completely into Apache NetBeans, not as a confusing module that needs to be 
installed somewhere after startup. That will be the point where we are fully 
mature and independent as a project without weirdness. From 13 onwards, maybe 
each release should be a major release, i.e., there are enough numbers in the 
world, we don't need minor releases anymore after that breakpoint.

3. *Release README.* We need to update the post release steps here, i.e., this 
document is gold and needs to be constantly up to date.

4. *12.6 feature freeze is less than a month away.* Who'd like to be release 
manager/s for this release and, see above, who'd like to be on the release 
team? In whatever capacity, Neil and myself will be on that team as well, see 
the schedule below:

Thanks, other comments and thoughts welcome.
