<p>The release manager (RM) is the coordinator for the release process. It is the RM's signature (.asc) that is uploaded together with the release. The RM generates KEY (RSA 4096-bit) and uploads it to a public key server. The RM needs to get his key endorsed (signed) by other Apache user, to be connected to the web of trust. <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html">http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html</a></p>
<p>Check:</p>
<ul>
<li>The codebase does not include third-party code which is not compatible to APL</li>
<li>The dependencies are compatible with APL. GNU-like licenses are NOT compatible</li>
<li>All source files written by us MUST include the Apache license header: <a href="http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html">http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html</a>. There's a script in there which helps propagating the header to all files.</li>
<li>The build process is error-free.</li>
<li>Unit tests are included (as much as possible)</li>
<li>The Jupyter notebooks are working with the new release</li>
<li>The online documentation on the Apache website is up to date.</li>
</ul>
