+# Apache SkyWalking Kubernetes Event Exporter Release Guide
+
+This documentation guides the release manager to release the SkyWalking Kubernetes Event Exporter in the Apache Way, and also helps people to check the release for vote.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Close(if finished, or move to next milestone otherwise) all issues in the current milestone
+ from [skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter](https://github.com/apache/skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter/milestones)
+ and [skywalking](https://github.com/apache/skywalking/milestones), create a new milestone if needed.
+2. Update [CHANGES.md](../CHANGES.md).
+
+## Add your GPG public key to Apache svn
+
+1. Upload your GPG public key to a public GPG site, such as [MIT's site](http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/).
+
+1. Log in [id.apache.org](https://id.apache.org/) and submit your key fingerprint.
+
+1. Add your GPG public key into [SkyWalking GPG KEYS](https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/skywalking/KEYS)
+ file, **you can do this only if you are a PMC member**. You can ask a PMC member for help. **DO NOT override the
+ existed `KEYS` file content, only append your key at the end of the file.**
+
+## Build and sign the source code package
+
+```shell
+export VERSION=<the version to release>
+git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:apache/skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter && cd skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter
+git tag -a "$VERSION" -m "Release Apache SkyWalking-Kubernetes-Event-Exporter $VERSION"
+git push --tags
+make clean && make release
+```
+
+**In total, six files should be automatically generated in the directory**: `skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter-${VERSION}-bin.tgz`
+, `skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter-${VERSION}-src.tgz`, and their corresponding `asc`, `sha512` files.
+
+## Upload to Apache svn
+
+```bash
+svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/skywalking/
+mkdir -p skywalking/kubernetes-event-exporter/"$VERSION"
+cp skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter/skywalking*.tgz skywalking/kubernetes-event-exporter/"$VERSION"
+cp skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter/skywalking*.tgz.asc skywalking/kubernetes-event-exporter/"$VERSION"
+cp skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter/skywalking-kubernetes*.tgz.sha512 skywalking/kubernetes-event-exporter/"$VERSION"
+
+cd skywalking/kubernetes-event-exporter && svn add "$VERSION" && svn commit -m "Draft Apache SkyWalking-Kubernetes-Event-Exporter release $VERSION"
+```
+
+## Make the internal announcement
+
+Send an announcement email to dev@ mailing list, **please check all links before sending the email**.

+## Vote Check
+
+All PMC members and committers should check these before voting +1:
+
+1. Features test.
+1. All artifacts in staging repository are published with `.asc`, `.md5`, and `sha` files.
+1. Source codes and distribution packages (`skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter-$VERSION-{src,bin}.tgz`)
+ are in `https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/skywalking/kubernetes-event-exporter/$VERSION` with `.asc`, `.sha512`.
+1. `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` are in source codes and distribution package.
+1. Check `shasum -c skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter-$VERSION-{src,bin}.tgz.sha512`.
+1. Check `gpg --verify skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter-$VERSION-{src,bin}.tgz.asc skywalking-kubernetes-event-exporter-$VERSION-{src,bin}.tgz`.
+1. Build distribution from source code package by following
+ this [the build guide](#build-and-sign-the-source-code-package).
+1. Licenses check, `make license`.
+
+Vote result should follow these:
+
+1. PMC vote is +1 binding, all others is +1 no binding.
+
+1. Within 72 hours, you get at least 3 (+1 binding), and have more +1 than -1. Vote pass.
+
+1. **Send the closing vote mail to announce the result**. When count the binding and no binding votes, please list the
+ names of voters. An example like this:
+
+ ```
+ [RESULT][VOTE] Release Apache SkyWalking Kubernetes Event Exporter version $VERSION
+
+ 3 days passed, we’ve got ($NUMBER) +1 bindings (and ... +1 non-bindings):
+
+ (list names)
