The way I understand it: the Release Manager declares a Release Candidate. And then the PMC votes on whether or not to release the Release Candidate. In our case, as a Podling, the PMC is really the IPMC. So they have the binding votes. But everyone would be encouraged to vote, especially the PPMC members, but other contributors, users, as well can vote. If the vote on releasing the RC fails, then we go back and fix whatever was wrong and repeat the process with a new RC. If the vote passes, then we probably take a few days to prepare the end-user facing download page, prime the mirrors with the downloads, write up an announcement post and coordinate on the timing of the actual public release. In other words, we don't want to make a big public announcement the minute the release vote ends. We'll need 24 hours at the very least to get the mirrors loaded. -Rob > cheers, > > Pedro. > > > --- Gio 12/4/12, Jürgen Schmidt <[email protected]> ha scritto: > >> > Hi, >> > >> > I was just short in front of starting the vote for our >> > RC after uploading a new Windows version based on >> > r1310206 to have the same version on all platforms. >> > >
