<title>Software Release Processes [was: FW: [rasdaman-dev]
release candidate 1 almost there] [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]</title>
I’m looking for a few good examples of a well bedded down software
release process that works well within an OSGeo Open Source
community.<br>
<br>
I’d like to refer these to the Rasdaman community for
consideration, rather than re-inventing the wheel.<br>
<br>
The environment appears to be mainly Postgres, SQL, C, shell, git
and trac (Peter B, please add to this if required).<br>

You have raised a very good point here.<br>
<br>
Is there a process that has been utilised by other OSGeo
Projects that we could possibly adapt?<br>
