<title>Voting on Release Candidates</title>
<para>
Everyone is encouraged to try and vote on HBase release candidates.
Only the votes of PMC members are binding.
PMC members, please read this WIP doc on policy voting for a release candidate,
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/rectang/asfrelease/blob/master/release.md">Release Policy</link>.
<quote>Before casting +1 binding votes, individuals are required to download the signed source code
package onto their own hardware, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on their
own platform, along with also validating cryptographic signatures and verifying that the package
meets the requirements of the ASF policy on releases.</quote>
Regards the latter, suggest running <command>mvn apache-rat:check</command> to verify all files
are suitably licensed.
