+Apache Directory Project
+========================
+
+This repository contains the Maven parent POM and some shared resources of 
+the [Apache Directory project](https://directory.apache.org/).
+
+
+Release Process
+---------------
+
+(See also <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DIRxDEV/Top+Level+Pom+Management+Policy>)
+
+### Prepare the POM
+
+    mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true
+
+### Deploy a snapshot
+
+    mvn deploy
+
+This is useful to verify your settings in ~/.m2/settings.xml (Nexus password and GPG key)
+
+### Prepare the release
+
+    mvn release:clean
+    mvn release:prepare
+
+When asked for the SCM release tag please remove the project prefix, the version number is enough.
+
+This creates a tag here: <https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=directory-project.git>
+
+### Stage the release
+
+    mvn release:perform
+
+This deploys the POM to a staging repository. Go to <https://repository.apache.org/index.html#stagingRepositories> and close the staging repository.
+
+### Inform dev list
+
+Inform the dev list to publish (release) this POM. After a 4 hour grace period the POM can be released, therefore go to <https://repository.apache.org/index.html#stagingRepositories> and release the staging repository.
