Hi folks, The Grails team has a release under vote. Just a reminder that we are sponsoring the incubation of the Grails project, so during incubation, we "ratify" their podling release votes. Upon a successful podling vote, they will request us to also vote and the Groovy PMC votes will be deemed the binding votes for that step.
Søren and myself are the official mentors for Grails, but as sponsors, the Groovy PMC is also responsible for making sure Grails releases meet the normal ASF release guidelines. There is some leniency given, and a special disclaimer, during incubation, with the goal that they are continually learning the ASF release procedures and are fully compliant before graduation, when they will become a top-level project in their own right. Basically, we are following normal practices that the Incubator project would follow, so feel free to read the Incubator project website, or contact myself or Søren, if you want more details. Otherwise, I look forward to your assistance in a day or two's time (expected) when that vote arrives. Cheers, Paul.
