Next steps about the Apache OFBiz 10.04 release

[Jacopo Cappellato-4]

The release has been officially released now; I have published the release files and updated the download links (but it will take some time to synch and propagate to all the mirrors).
This is the bare minimum required and we should be good now.
However there are some optional steps that it would be nice to perform:
1) update the links for demo instances for 10.04
2) prepare an announcement email; I don't have much time for it but I can simply write something very simple like:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-announce/201101.mbox/%3c9A2A5D8D-423C-42B2-94AA-606489483FA3@...%3e

But as I said this is not required and we can even skip this step

3) to all of you: it would be nice to make some noise around the release: if you have a blog, a Twitter account, or an account on other social network this could be a good way to let the World know about the new release

Kind regards,

Jacopo

Or we could reuse the 9.04 press release.

I will take care of that

I think Adrian has a good idea, reuse the old one ;o)

Id' just add a few words about new layered lookups, like "quicker Ajaxified layered lookups mixed with autocompleted input field". I
think they are  major and OFBiz very specific enhancements wich needed much efforts.

Also I believe we can run 3 demo instances simultaneously. It's good to have them at hand when it comes to commit patches likely to
be backported. I will ask infra, rather than replacing R9.04...

Thanks

Jacques

I think we can do the most stuff (except DNS entry) ourselves.
