I have created a wiki page with the WIP instructions for the release https://github.com/apache/incubator-pulsar/wiki/Release-process
I also have created an INFRA ticket to create the Nexus project so that we can publish maven artifacts. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-14694 Any comments on the questions asked? If there are no concerns/objections I could volunteer to be the release manager for this release and then we could start a rotation across the committers for the subsequent releases.
