Due to the significance of the release, I will cast my vote near the deadline: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/birthday?iso=20230618T131145&p0=197&font=cursive One matter that I will not take into account in the vote, but that we should fix before the announcement is the changelog. It contains a lot of entries that were already included in 2.20.0 like these: > Changes in this version include: > (...) > • Update Apache Flume from 1.7.0 to 1.8.0.

I can probably sort them out by the end of the voting period, so that we can update the website shortly thereafter. BTW the introduction to the release notes says "Changes staged for the next 3.x.x version that is yet to be released". Piotr
Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Log4j 3.0.0-alpha1-rc1
I thought I fixed that. Unfortunately, the plugin moves stuff from the 3.x directory to the release directory and leaves the 3.x directory there. Then when you run the site build it includes that empty 3.x directory. To fix that I have to delete the 3.x directory and then recreate it after the release.
