Press Release for Geronimo 2.0.1
Please advise when this will go out. Thanks
==== Final ====
Apache Geronimo 2.0.1 released by Apache Software Foundation
date/time/location—The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) announced
today the release of Apache Geronimo 2.0.1 (http://
geronimo.apache.org <http://geronimo.apache.org/>). This release
represents the latest open source Java Enterprise Edition 5.0
application server from the Apache Geronimo project, and continues
the evolution of the Apache Geronimo server by adding new features
and capabilities to a fully compliant and certified Java Enterprise
Edition 5.0 container suitable for everything from a development
environment to enterprise-level deployments.
The newly released Apache Geronimo 2.0.1 breaks new ground as the
first open source Application Server to provide two certified JAX-WS
Web Services implementations: Apache Axis2 and Apache CXF. This
capability further highlights the flexibility of Apache Geronimo
which also provides two certified web container implementations:
Apache Tomcat and Jetty.
Geronimo 2.0.1 also introduces new features such as simplified
development, improved diagnostics and flexible assemblies. Simplified
deployment is achieved through the use of standards based programming
model enhancements found in Java Enterprise Edition 5.0. This
includes support for the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB3) specification as
implemented by the Apache OpenEJB and Apache OpenJPA projects. Here
is a list of some of these programming enhancements:
- Streamlined development options provided with Java Enterprise
Edition 5.0
- EJB 3.0 persistence (Java Persistence Architecture)
- A programming model that uses annotations to express developer
defaults in the source code
Improved diagnostic capabilities include enhanced logging, class
loader viewer as well as JMX browser which are all available from the
web based console. Change logging levels on the fly as well as view
existing logs with a set of filters. Looking for a class and
wondering where it came from? The class loader viewer let’s you find
them. Want to see or change the attributes for MBeans in the
server? The JMX browser allows you to navigate the MBeans in the
server in a simple tree format without having to hook up external
consoles or third party products. In addition, the Certification
Authority portlet provides a user friendly interface to setup a
Certification Authority, your own Public-Key Infrastructure, and use
server/client Digital Certificates for securing your applications.
Flexible assemblies are realized through the project’s continued
promotion of the ”Little G” 2.0.1 —a lightweight container offering
for projects that don’t need the full feature set of Java Enterprise
Edition 5.0. Perfect for web-service and SOA deployments, "Little G"
brings the modularity, manageability and extensibility of Apache
Geronimo to a lightweight assembly that is small in footprint but
full of capability.
This flexible, user-friendly, and easy-to-configure application
server is built from best-of-breed open source components and is
fully licensed under the Apache Software License, offering multiple
benefits to organizations and their development teams. They can use
Apache Geronimo as-is or, if they so choose, create their own custom
offerings without the restrictions imposed by other open source
licenses. Flexibility and choice, you have both with Apache Geronimo.
The software can be downloaded for free from the Apache Geronimo web
site ( http://geronimo.apache.org <http://geronimo.apache.org/>/ ).

Also sounds clunky: "of _the_ Little G"... I recommend
"of Little G" instead (drop the 'the'). Also, is "promotion"
the right word? How about "development" or "usage"...

My misunderstanding. I thought that the edits going back and forth
were that process. I understand now. So, at this point we'll wait
for your revisions.

No problem. Didn't mean to be presumptive on your time. Please let
me know how I can help out.

Matt, I must not be making myself clear... The PRC must
approve the PR. Once that's done, then we need, of course, you
guys to approve any and all changes (for example, who is
the contact person for this PR?). Finally, once all that
is done, we send it to our wire-service for release, at
which point it normally takes 24-48 hours.
This is not an "immediate" process. We're trying to update
the information about the PRC to remove this misconception
that it's same-day service. Normally, since the PRC is,
as with every other cmmt in the ASF 100% volunteers, we
require a week.

I should be sending a revised copy later today. I still need
to know the contact person for this PR; this is the name,
title and phone number of who should be contacted should
anyone reading the PR have any questions.
Since we submit the PR in MS Word format, that is how I will
be sending it to the G team for review. I will send it,
however, to the G pmc.

Thursday would be fine. We have agreement on the Press Release based
on our discussion. I liked your comments; always nice to work with
someone who can read and write something other than a computer
language ;-P
Appreciate all your help on this.

Even if we submitted the PR for release today, the earliest it would
go out would be Thurs. There in an inherent latency in the release
process in the wire service.

We're ready to go live. Our vote is complete and we'll likely update
our website today. Tuesday is always a good day for an announce but
thursday would be great. If not before then I guess we'd have to
wait on the press release till next week.
I was planning on hitting Info Q and The Server Side tomorrow. What
are your thoughts on synchronizing these activities?

We will review this and provide any feedback to you. Once approved
by both you guys and the PRC, we will submit it for the wire.
It is not an instantaneous process taking 24-48 hours, and
so doing that in conjunction with when you want the PR
released is some scheduling fun :) For example, you don't
want it to be released at the end of the week.
