When I was working I gave up some of my freedom to do what I wanted in
exchange for being paid to do what other people told me.
I retired when I had accumulated enough investments that the financial
improvement from the money Sun was paying me no longer outweighed the
benefit of being able to decide for myself what to do with my time. My
10 a.m. horseback riding lesson this morning will be far higher priority
than OpenOffice debug.
I do not see being a "Release Manager" as carrying any authority at all
over others. I might need to persuade, suggest, beg, and plead, but I
would not expect to be able to compel, not even to the limited extent I
could when I was a project leader in industry.
exactly. There is no disciplinary power in the role of a release
manager. It's more a role - instead of a job title - to make sure that a
release will happen.
You can a) do all things alone, b) do some tasks together with a team or
c) nearly nothing except to pull the strings to make sure there will be
a release at all. I think you would prefer point b).
If the term "Release Manager" is creating an idea of a job something
like being a manager in industry, maybe we need a more realistic term
such as "Keeper of the Release Checklist".
BTW:
There is already one [1] in case you don't know yet.

You did offer to learn to be a release manager, it means that some
sort of
"management" is needed?
How someone here suggested making a release without a manger is beyond
me...

Not only it is possible to compel, it is imperative for a viable
