Hi,

Normally I would be -1 binding as there’s a number of issues here, however the 
most serious one for a first release is that you are missing incubating from 
the artefact name. The artefacts can be renamed without changing the hash or 
anything else, if you rename I’ll change my vote to +1. Other IPMC members may 
think the issue are more serious and may also vote -1. You may need to check 
with legal if it OK to distribute this release given the font licensing issue.

The PPMC could also decide to not release this and cancel the vote because of 
the issues below and instead  fix them and make another RC to vote on.

Using a checklist like this [2] when voting on releases might help, you can 
also ask the IPMC to take a look at a release before putting it up for vote 
here.That’s probably a good thing to do for a first release.

I checked:
- incubating is missing from name
- signatures and hashes good
- DISCLAIMER exists
- LICENSE is missing a few licenses (see below)
- NOTICE should not include LICENSE information e.g The line about CC 4.0. This 
may need to be removed. Also this content may be Category X and this can’t 
included in a source release. [11]
- Some 3rd party code have headers with "[LICENSE TBD]” [4][5][6][7][9] which 
seems odd
- The ASF headers on a number of files are not correct e.g the file [13] and 
other under that directory (search for COPYRIGHT 2016 and and COPYRIGHT 2017 
and COPYRIGHT 2018) Or are these files not actually licensed to the ASF?
- Source release may contained compiled code e.g [20] my understanding is that 
a .mo file is compiled from the .po file. I not sure if it could be classified 
as code however, but even if that is so it may be best to remove them from the 
source release.

There is a few bits of missing licensing  information:
- How is the map date here licensed? [3] Is it from 
http://www.diva-gis.org/Data? I can see there is a credit in the code that has 
a link to https://bl.ocks.org/john-guerra. How is that code licensed?
- This file [7] is missing from LICENSE I assume it’s public domain? [8]
- This file [9] is licensed how? It seems to come from here [10] which says to 
contact the author for a license.
- How is this image [14] licensed? (One reference I found said it could only be 
used for personal use [21])
- LICENSE is missing license information for these fonts [15][16][17][18][19] 
The license for Glyphicons Halflings is complex and in this context (outside of 
bootstrap) a commercial license may be needed [22] and so it can’t be included.

Some other improvements that could be made:
- The LICENSE fieldworker is a little odd with headings like BSD 2-Clause 
licenses with noting under them, people (or tools) may incorrectly assume that 
it does contain BSD 2-Clause licensed code.
- Make vote link link in future emails to lists.apache,org
- Sign release with an apache.org email address
- This [12] has copyright 2018 when it shovel be 2019

Thanks,
Justin
