Hi Sergiu,
In general yes, I would say it's ok to have it later in the week (but
rarely on Friday).
so my +1 .
However, I think the release should take less than 5 days to complete.
It really should be simpler than that.
Happy releasing,
Anca

Hi devs,
I don't think that Monday is a good day for releases, since voting over
the weekend is not a good thing. Thus, I propose to move the general
release day to the Thursday of the week. The current release process
doesn't really follow the VOTE rules, since the way it's done is: send
vote mail at 10AM, wait a few hours, start the release around 1PM. The
rule for VOTE emails is to wait for three days.
Thus:
- Send release VOTE on Monday
- Prepare the release during the following three days (release plan,
release notes)
- Perform the maven release on Thursday, request tests for publishing
the release (testing of the build)
- Finalize the release on Friday (download, announcements, version update)
