Well, for the first one you should know ;-) The process for a release is that 1) The project designates a release manager (RM). For the .Net stuff you're the obvious victim. 2) The RM prepares the release archives, with signatures, digests etc. 3) The RM puts the release archives in a public place for review. Ideally on ASF hardware, so my preferred location would be http://people.apache.org/~esjr in your case, but I think http://ducis.net/static is also acceptable It's much better to have just the files that you are about to release at that location, so having the Java stuff as well at http://ducis.net/static/docs/dotnet/rel.html is not good 4) For an initial podling release it's best to ask the podling community (this list) to review the prepared release at this point, to avoid too much back and forth when voting 5) once that's ok, start a [VOTE] thread here like Reza just did 6) once that vote passes, for a podling, have the Incubator PMC vote on it 7) release! In our case this means moving the artifacts that have been voted on under http://apache.org/dist/incubator/devicemap Before step 7), nothing is considered released as far as the ASF is concerned. The votes are required to make the releases an act of the foundation, as opposed to individuals releasing stuff. Hope this helps, -Bertrand
