We have been making releases of Optiq monthly for the past several months [1]. The community seems to appreciate the predictability, and I believe it helps build our community. (For one thing, it encourages people to contribute back and wait for a release, rather than creating their own development branch.)
There have been 5 weeks, 34 commits, and 13 issues fixed since the last release, so we are due for a new one. We are making progress through the incubation process -- the key SGAs have been filed, and so we should be able to transfer code to Apache git in the next few days; also we have moved to Apache jira and mailing lists -- but we are probably a month away from making a release through Apache. With our mentors' permission, I would like to create a release using the "old" process in the next few days. How do I get that permission? Julian
