• In Apache-style projects, releases are decided by a vote of committers.  Call for a vote if needed, and be executing these instructions to make so a decision of the project committers to release.  http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html
• When starting these release steps in response to a successful vote-to-release, request a FREEZE of the branch being released on uportal-dev@.
•  Suggestion:  Review the master branch for commits that can safely and appropriately (per the community's current guidelines for what changes may occur where) be applied to the branch you're releasing.  It is easy to forget to apply changes to multiple branches, especially changes that come into the codebase from Pull Requests on GtiHub.  You can easily generate a report of commits in master that are not in the release branch with the command(s) below.  Unfortunately, this report is not limited to commits since the last release.  Commits (lines) that begin with a '+' have not been applied to the release branch.
