Hi,
As I previously posted email on cxf-dev, I am very keen in
contributing to CeltiXfire release management and other project
management related stuff. From the Apache release process document
[1], I am not sure what qualification/requirements it takes to get
the release management job done:
1. Does it require SVN commit right? I don't have CXF commit right
yet (working toward it :-), would this be a problem?
2. Does it require some one to be on PPMC?
3. Signing release. According to my knowledge, ASF needs to meet in-
person whoever will be signing release. I am willing to make the
trip meet ASF person in US.
I hope I can contribute to CeltiXfire release management without
commit access and without being on PPMC. If for some reason that I
am not qualified to contribute fully, then I will try to contribute
as much as possible.
In the ASF, the PMC (and the PPMC) is the entity responsible for
releasing s/w. In fact, it is one of prime responsibilities of
the (P)PMC, since it's the release of s/w and its distribution
which the ASF, as a legal entity, is worried about.
As such, only the (P)PMC can release it, and therefore a person
in the (P)PMC is required. Now you can certainly help the
release manager (RM), but *they* are responsible for the
release, and they need to do the work.
