• Backup Release Coordinator?
  • It's been a while since we've specified a backup coordinator. But, I'd like to suggest we start it again, as it will help us all to become more comfortable with the release processes (Maven), etc.
  • Release process is still too reliant on the few of us who understand it (namely Tim D & Mark D). We need to spread out this knowledge, and get us all more comfortable with Maven releases.
  • Should we name a backup coordinator for 1.8, to collaborate/help Robin as necessary?
