Thanks. Paul, is your vote binding? Without it we only have two +1 votes.
Yes, Paul's vote is binding.
If Paul's vote is not binding do we have to wait for Jim? Secondly, we were concerned with the following:A podling MUST now be called Apache "Podling-Name" (see Naming below). A podling and affiliated persons can issue press releases that reference the podling, but cannot issue press releases with the specific intent of announcing the Podling. Podling can conduct informal pr activities, such as media outreach, blog publicity, etc. The ASF will not issue any press releases for any podling at this stage. However, the Public Relations Committee MUST review any releases by affiliated organizations or groups to ensure they comply withthese branding guidelines. http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html Does this apply to the release announcements?
No, release announcements are not "announcing the podling".This section was put in place to avoid companies making PR out of simply contributing code to Apache and then abandoning the project, having gotten "free" PR.
But once a podling has jumped through the release hoops, it's considered proper to announce the milestone.
Do I have to run them past someone?
Yes, the PRC at apache dot org needs to approve all announcements. You can contact them (us) any time for assistance (but you will probably have to write the press release yourselves).
Hope that helps, Craig
