- Announce the new version on the OpenNLP Twitter.
+- Announce the new version on the Apache OpenNLP blog at https://blogs.apache.org/opennlp/.
- Close the present release ticket in JIRA.
- Send announcement email to announce@apache.org, dev@opennlp.apache.org, users@opennlp.apache.org. This needs to be done from your @apache.org email address or the email will bounce from the announce list. Gmail forwarding can help here and is a snap to set up (http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/send-mail-from-another-address-without.html). It's even easier then the instructions there as it will recognize your email address and default to Apache settings. It is important to include a description of what OpenNLP is as well as a link to the updated DOAP within the release announcement, this is so others know what OpenNLP is.
