Hi All, Loving all the new ideas about what is next for Aurora, but I would like to propose that we try to start focusing on preparing for first release under ASF early.
First release usually takes a lot of time and effort to get it right and soliciting VOTES in incubator will take additional time. Is there anyone would like to volunteer to become the first RM (Release Manager) for Aurora? The main role for the RM is to be the main contact for a particular release, which includes triaging bugs, preparing branch, tagging, and preparing staging artifacts to VOTE on. Looking at the main JIRA for the release [0], seems like AURORA-48 can be closed, AURORA-78 should be part of RE exercise, AURORA-278 is also part of release exercise. So in short, we are ready to make a release once RE is identified =) As Jake had mentioned, all PPMC please be comfortable with Apache release procedure [1] and voting [2]. Thanks guys, - Henry [0] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-147 [1] http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release [2] http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html
