+1 [binding]
I'm not sure if my vote is necessary or even kosher since I sent out
the vote proposal and perhaps mine is implied?
Anyway, if would be great if we could get some more review of the
this release test snapshot. This is one way we can demonstrate the
real strength and size of the OFBiz community. It is also a way we
can identify problems and fix them as necessary and thereby move
toward a very good release after we graduate, which is important as
that release will likely get a lot of attention from outside the
current OFBiz community.

This is the vote to approve the 4.0.0 TS3 "release", which is
really a "Test Snapshot" to test the release process and legal
artifacts and such. The files we are voting on are the third pass,
now using the "TS3" suffix as this is the second pass and the TS
instead of RC to clarify that this is a Test Snapshot more than a
traditional Release Candidate (which has clearly been confusing for
quite a few people).
There were a couple of minor things that needed fixing so we're
doing another pass and restarting the vote. Hopefully this is the
last pass and we'll be good to go on this one. Thanks to everyone
for feedback on the others to get things cleaned up and such.
To reiterate, the main things we need to review for this test
snapshot are:
1. PGP signature (.asc) and MD5 checksum (.md5) file validity
2. Proper license headers, NOTICE, and LICENSE files
3. Basic unarchive and run success
This is not meant to be a release in the traditional sense with a
branch, testing cycles, and so on, and is not meant to be a
reference point or used by end-users. It is an important part of
the incubation process for OFBiz at the ASF and after we approach a
test snapshot release we will submit it to the larger incubator
community and the incubator board for review.
Please note that everyone is welcome to vote, but only PPMC members
have "binding" votes. We'll leave this open until at least the end
of day on Tuesday to give people the some time to review it.
For more details on this release, including links to files to
download, see the Confluence page at:

Note that the best place to download the files is from the
people.apache.org links there.
