[VOTE] Approve Release Test Snapshot (aka 4.0.0 RC1)

[David E Jones-2]

This is the vote to approve the 4.0.0 RC1 "release", which is really  
a test snapshot to test the release process and legal artifacts and  
such. The files we are voting on are the same as were created last  
Saturday and that have been discussed over the week.

To reiterate, the main things we need to review for this test  
snapshot are:

1. PGP signature (.asc) and MD5 checksum (.md5) file validity
2. Proper license headers, NOTICE, and LICENSE files
3. Basic unarchive and run success

This is not meant to be a release in the traditional sense with a  
branch, testing cycles, and so on, and is not meant to be a reference  
point or used by end-users. It is an important part of the incubation  
process for OFBiz at the ASF and after we approach a test snapshot  
release we will submit it to the larger incubator community and the  
incubator board for review.

If there is sufficient response in 24 hours we'll close the vote  
after that, otherwise we'll wait until Monday to close the vote.

For more details on this release, including links to files to  
download, see the Confluence page at:

http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/wAE

Note that the best place to download the files is from the  
people.apache.org links there.

Hi David

While reading this I remembered that there are still  
<copyright>Copyright (c) 2002 The Open For Business Project -
www.ofbiz.org</copyright> tags in many of the entity related xml files.  
A quick search shows about 27 of these.  I assume these need to be
removed before we graduate?  I can submit a patch if you like

Regards
Scott

Thanks for the heads up on this Scott. I did a search for "Copyright  
* The Open For" and got a bunch of these in the entity def XMl files,  
and also a few in FTL and other files.

I think this is enough of an issue to warrant a second pass on a test  
snapshot release, so I'll send out details on that and a call for a  
new vote in just a bit.
