[mentors] Next steps in releasing Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0 Alpha

Hi all,

It seems the IPMC voting has stopped, with everyone voting +1:

https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ae06af5a10d99a14e35a0fee8a8e35e91505b85293549f8152a075d4@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E

How do we proceed from here to release 9.0 Alpha?

Thanks,

Gj

First of all, you should conclude and tally the vote on general@ by
replying with a final [RESULT][VOTE] <subject>, which can be done after
minimal 72h, e.g. like now :-)

Check the general@ list for examples on the format and content of such
[RESULT][VOTE] emails.

Then, check the reply I send out earlier to the same question you
asked for the HTML/Java API release, (date: 2017-10-24, subject:
"Re: [mentors] Apache Release 1.5 of HTML/Java API is approved - what is 
next?").
Same things of course apply here as well.

Most critical next thing (besides the result email) IMO is updating the
website with the release info, as that is pretty much required to make
this (and the HTML/Java API release as well) a proper and community
visible release.

I'm probably behind on this (could have easily missed this being talked
about) but are we still creating installers for each platform? i.e.
Windows, Linux and Mac installers?

We didn't have one for the last release but that's fine for the bare
platform release we just did, but if we are proposing a Java IDE next then
we need to have installers to make it easier for normal users to install
the IDE. (My faith in normal users abilities to perform simple tasks is
declining with all the unsubscribe emails...)

Right now, that kind of information we're putting/documenting here:

cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS

Yes, will document that there -- notice that we do indeed document a LOT,
just not that part yet (since we have only had two releases so far, quite
early days to be able to document anything since there's no pattern yet,
just the beginning of one).

We're waiting for Wade to provide an update on the website, we all eagerly
want netbeans.org to be at Apache too, and for the netbeans.apache.org
discussion to continue too.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I think it's time for
NetBeans to document its release process, so that such questions can
be answered with an URL ;-)

Ideally under http://netbeans.apache.org/ which should IMO have a
"project management" or "PMC" section for such permanent information.
