Want to be release manager for Infusion 1.0?

[Colin Clark]

Hi all,

We've been refining our release process over the past few versions of  
Infusion. As part of this, we've tried to pass the release manager  
baton around the community, giving everyone an opportunity to help  
drive our process. This time, we're looking for someone to take on the  
role of release manager for Infusion 1.0.

The job of the Release Manager is to help guide and coordinate the  
community through the life cycle of a release.  This includes things  
like:

* keeping everyone in the loop on the status of the release
* helping to organize the release tasks in the wiki, on list, and in  
JIRA
* working with Justin and others to coordinate bug parade and code  
freeze
* cutting the release tag, packaging up the release, and announcing it  
to the community

A comprehensive list of our release process is available in the wiki:

http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Release+Process

Anyone can be the release manager. It does involve familiarity with  
JIRA, but we can pair you up with a past release manager to help with  
the work. For 0.8, we had a particularly successful tag-team effort  
from Anastasia and Eli.

Let us know if you're interested in lending a hand,

Colin
