Hi all, I have been looking into whether we can announce UIMA releases via the GitHub "Releases" feature. Here is a relevant thread on the ASF LEGAL Jira:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-612 tl;dr: * the "release" feature seems in principle usable with a few caveats * there is a WIP proposal for a new more Git based ASF release policy [1] which involves release voters to sign commits * UIMA Java SDK 3.3.0 release announcement on GitHub: https://github.com/apache/uima-uimaj/releases/tag/rel%2Fuimaj-3.3.0 (note in particular the "Downloads" section at the end) Although the this proposal is still in the process of development, I will have a closer look at the git commit signing feature and would tentatively suggest we adopt this concept as part of the UIMA release process as well. I will update the release guidelines accordingly. Although a fully updated release guidelines will likely not be available for the upcoming uimaFIT and Ruta releases, I would suggest that we still try the tag-signing idea for these two upcoming releases.
