[VOTE] log4j 1.2.14 release

I've prepared a release candidate for log4j 1.2.14.  To expedite the  
process, I've posted the call for a vote on both the log4j-dev and  
general <at> logging.apache.org and requesting that the log4j project and  
PMC votes take place simultaneously and all discussion occur on the  
log4j-dev mailing list.  All interested parties are invited to vote,  
though only log4j committer votes will be binding for the log4j  
project vote and PMC members on the PMC vote.   Voting will be open  
until September 18th at 00:00 GMT.  Any vote by a person who is both  
a PMC member and log4j committer will be assumed to apply to both  
votes unless requested otherwise.  A summery of the vote will be  
posted on both mailing lists.

The release candidate is currently available as either a tar.gz  
or .zip archive at:

http://people.apache.org/builds/logging/log4j/log4j-1.2.14/logging- 
log4j-1.2.14rc1.tar.gz
http://people.apache.org/builds/logging/log4j/log4j-1.2.14/logging- 
log4j-1.2.14rc1.zip

The expected MD5 checksums for the files are:

MD5(logging-log4j-1.2.14rc1.tar.gz)= 7d8d02888b93e6f8d67b8e5f746196ae
MD5(logging-log4j-1.2.14rc1.zip)= 6c4f8da1fed407798ea0ad7984fe60db

If release of the vote passes, the archives will be renamed to remove  
the rc1 designation, digitally signed and moved to www.apache.org/ 
dist.  To allow voters to vote on the exact binary images to be  
released, the archives have no internal indication that they are not  
the final 1.2.14.  This is a break from previous practice where the  

Re: [VOTE] log4j 1.2.14 release

Hi,
+1 to the release after some medium-strength testing (running it on a
dev server in an app that uses log4j for a couple of hours) and
looking at the distros.

Two comments:

I'm fine with this process, which has been used by other ASF projects
for a while.

I think logging-site should be tagged anyhow, not because of a build
dependency, but to allow us and our users to recreate the log4j site
as it existed for a particular version of log4j.  I personally have
found it useful in the past.  Tags are essentially free, let's not

[VOTE] Move Velocity to TLP

The Velocity project has for some time now been making plans for a
proposal to the board that the Velocity projects leave the Jakarta
umbrella and become their own top level project.  Martin has asked us
to hold a vote on the proposal here before he passes it along to the
board.  So...

The proposal is available for your perusal at:
    http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/TLPVelocity

For the interested, most of the discussion took place on the following thread:
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=115530940100004&r=1&w=2

And the vote happens here:
[ ] +1 I support the proposal
[ ] +0 I don't care
[ ] -1  I'm opposed to the proposal because...

Thanks!
