Actually I owe you apology, all these e-mails are one big prove that most of us are leaving you alone there doing everything yourself :D, I am talking about myself when I say I am sorry for that. > > The reason for all those updates was that I was just tidying up what is > outstanding to do for our first release.

Leave that to me, I already collected information about where to lookup how to plan for an Incubator Release. I will share that info. when I have better look at them, which is max. by the end of tomorrow. > > One possibility might be for some hand-holding at the Apache retreat weekend > after next.

This is a great idea, and as plan B, we can make our max. due date is during the Retreat, as we, at least some of us, can work closely and F2F together there and hence we can get things done faster. And for sure, other comments and thoughts are more than welcome. *NOTE: For the retreat thing and to make sure we are ready, I will send another e-mail, probably by the end of today, to plan and prepare what we will need there to make sure we have a working development environment, as you might have read, there might be no Internet connection, which might be the one big obstacle we will face, but I have a workaround which at least will make use have a working source code repo(s) which we can commit against and then we sync it back on SVN when we are back from the retreat.* > > Dan > > [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ISIS/GeneratingPgpKeys > [2] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ISIS/ReleaseProcess > > > > > On 03/05/2011 13:08, Mohammad Nour El-Din wrote: >> >> Hi Dan I am really lost in the tasks you defined on JIRA, would you >> please give me directions where you want my help? >> >> On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 2:39 AM, Mohammad Nour El-Din >> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Hi all... >>> >>> I know I've been off for long time, and I already feel guilty about >>> it.
