Volunteer RM for 1.1.7?
Hello devs,
I'm going on an extended absence, through Oct 23. Would anyone care to
stand in as release manager for 1.1.7 while I'm away? Given 1.1.6 went out
on Sept 5, 1.1.7 RC's should begin around Sept 26th in order to retain our
targeted monthly cadence. The overall process is documented [0], and I have
my own almost-but-not-quite-scripted notes [1] for creating a candidate.
In terms of effort, it usually works out to be a couple hours for tracking
down in-flight tickets, updating JIRA, validating the compatibility report
&c, and then another couple hours of watching maven and pushing bits to
generate the RC.
If no takers, I'll make its release a priority upon my return in late
October.
Thanks,
Nick

Looks like a candidate was accepted by the PMC. Thank you very much for
taking on this release in my absence!

Excellent, thank you Misty!
The release would ideally land 1 month from the 1.1.6 release, so Oct 5 is
our target date. This is a loose target, but a starting point. A release
candidate VOTE thread is posted for 7 days. We're pretty far into the 1.1.x
line, so probably the first or second RC will pass. Thus, working backwards
and rounding to the nearest work week, I would aim for having an RC
available to the community on Sept 26th. My preference is to have a weekend
land near the end of the voting period so that non-9-5 volunteers can be
made aware of the VOTE and make time to take a look.
Do let me know if you have any questions, I should be available to answer
them through this weekend. Otherwise, you're in good hands with the other
folks who have and will take the time to respond on this thread.
Thanks,
Nick

OK, I'm convinced. I can do it. When should I make the RC?

You should try your hand at RM-ing, Misty. Making the candidate should only take an afternoon.
Then it's up to the rest of us to try it out and vote. I'll be able to give a 1.1.7 candidate a thorough exercising.

This is something any committer should be able to do -- it requires write
access to git (git-wip-us.apache.org), subversion (dist.apache.org), and
nexus (repository.apache.org). PMC are required to vote on a release, but
IIRC any dev can cut a release candidate and call a VOTE thread.

I was going to volunteer but I saw the dates and I'll be on vacation. Is this something a PMC newbie could do? I worked with stack to document the process at one time.
