Attention non-committers: a word about [VOTE] threads

[Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net>]

All,

In case you (read reader) are not a Tomcat committer, please don't 
ignore the [VOTE] emails that come out for each release. *Everyone* is 
welcome to vote on a proposed release, and, honestly, we'd prefer more 
feedback than less.

If you have a problem, we'll help you solve it.

If you're interested in becoming involved in votes, I would recommend 
that you watch this video of a presentation from ApacheCon @Home 2020 
which describes how to build Tomcat from source and run the unit tests, etc.

We'd love to have more input on releases, honestly. So if you have any 
questions, please post to this list for help.

All you need to do in order to participate in a VOTE is to reply to the 
VOTE thread. You should try to use the release-build in a way that has 
meaning for you (like maybe with a development version of your own 
product) and let us know if everything is working as expected (or not!).

Thanks,
-chris

Thank you Christopher for the reminder and for the record, this doesn't
just apply to non-committer.. but even more so to committers.

I feel guilty that I haven't taken action on this front other than a few
times in the beginning and it's not right. I pledge to take more action
from now on.

Sincerely,
Ray
