It is moot as we’ve switched strategies, but we could have decided to use
Marshall Plan to have the 3rd party content display just like any other
local example app.  Depending on the size of your browser window, in the
original strategy, the 3rd party app could come up scaled such that the
text was almost unreadable.  IMO, that wasn’t a good enough first
impression for our third parties, and thus, at least Ardisia requested a
preference for the new strategy of just linking to 3rd party sites.

I would prefer that we remove Flexicious from 3rdparty.xml before cutting
a release, but otherwise, if you make an RC off the head of the release
branch, I expect to vote +1 unless someone shows up with a huge critical
problem we don’t currently know about (or the signature is bad or some
other data corruption).  The notice files look fine, the build script
works, the few examples I poked at worked.

Before you go do all that work, we should try to get agreement from others
on whether to temporarily take Flexicious out of the xml file, and get at
least one other PMC member to examine the source package on the CI server.
 If you’ve looked it over, and I’ve looked it over, and one other PMC
member has as well, that should be your 3 +1 votes.

So, fellow PMC members, can we:

1) get your thoughts on taking Flexicious out of 3rdparty.xml so that
their app doesn’t show up scaled?  When they reply with a bitmap to use
like Ardisia did, then we’ll add it to the flex.a.o version which is what
most folks use anyway.
2) get at least one of you to check out the source package on the CI
server?  If you want you can use the approval script by getting the
ApproveTDF.xml in the develop branch, copying it to an empty folder and
then running:
ant -e -f ApproveTDF.xml -Drelease.version=1.2 -Dno.asc
Please make sure to review the README/RELEASE_NOTES/LICENSE/NOTICE files.
For me the build takes 30 to 40 minutes so plan accordingly.

Thanks,
-Alex
