Well as you stated earlier, after the initial vote, everyone slows down a
lot in their voting ;-)
+1 again for me
.. but I'd still really like to see those wish-list items addressed
To readdress:
- the fix for apps with no WEB-INF folder being treated as standard webapps
(static apps in this case), helps a lot for people trying their live VM on
TomEE instead of just people playing with samples
- a logo, because I think it'd make a great difference for the 1.0 release
commercially
I'd personally also go for a Monday news release as it's only a few days,
gives a full business week of news exposure (as you noted David, in what was
really an excellent comment on the effect of time of news releases over the
net in 2012), and gives us time to make sure the release is solid, built,
and all the download links work (ie: the dropin war link *still* results in
[The requested URL
/pub/apache/openejb/4.0.0-beta-2/openejb-tomcat-webapp-4.0.0-beta-2.war was
not found on this server.] - horrible for a 1.0 release imho).
I know everyone is really keen for a first release, but since it's going to
be publicised so widely, I think "a few more days and get it right" is an
intelligent approach. Flames welcome.
Best Regards,
Neale

Great!
Monday is definitely better than Friday.

Le 23 avril 2012 10:04, David Blevins <[email protected]> a ï¿©crit :
Sally Khudairi (Apache PR person) has drafted us up an official Apache
announcement like there was for the certification.
She asked when it should be released, I said probably Wednesday. Was
thinking Tuesday earlier in the week, but that seems unlikely at this
point.
Hopefully we can get our voting done by at least Tuesday morning afternoon
to give time for things to sync to the mirrors.
If not I might recommend waiting till the following Monday. News doesn't
really survive the weekend and announcing on a Thursday (or far worse,
Friday) gives us mere hours before it's dropped.
Even Wednesday is kind of the latest good day.
