  Now you are ready to upload to your *personal* Apache space on people.apache.org. You can use `scp`, but in the end the layout must look like this:

  Hi all!
  
  The Apache Groovy PPMC has successfully voted the release of Apache Groovy 2.4.4-incubating [1], with 6 "+1" binding votes, one "+1" non binding, no "0" votes and one "-1" vote (see the explanation below). We are now asking the IPMC to vote it too. Since it is our first release under the Apache Software Foundation umbrella, let me give a few more details:

  If the vote passes:
  
  == Publish the release
  
  * Open `https://bintray.com/groovy/maven/groovy/2.4.4` and click `Publish` on the notice message (something like `ou have 532 unpublished item(s) for this version (expiring in 21 hours)`)
  * Perform Maven Central synchronization: on https://bintray.com/groovy/maven/groovy/2.4.4/view?sort=&order=#central[this page (update the link to the appropriate version)], click 'sync'. This step may take several minutes to complete.
  * Update the documentation symlinks on the website. You need credentials on the server:
  ```
  cd /var/www/docs/docs
  rm -f latest
  ln -s groovy-2.4.4 latest
  ```
  * Publish to GVM. Open http://ci.groovy-lang.org/viewType.html?buildTypeId=Groovy_BintrayIntegration_GvmPublish[the publish configuration], click on the 3 dots near `run` then on the _parameters_ tab, fill
  in the `groovyVersion` parameter. Click on `run build`.
  * if the release is NOT a beta or a release candidate, make it the default version on GVM. Open http://ci.groovy-lang.org/viewType.html?buildTypeId=Groovy_BintrayIntegration_GvmMakeDefault[the GVM make default configuration], click on the 3 dots near `run` then on the _parameters_ tab, fill
  in the `groovyVersion` parameter. Click on `run build`.
  
  == Update the web site
  
  If you don't have it locally, checkout `https://github.com/groovy/groovy-website`.
  
  * Update the https://github.com/melix/groovy-website/blob/master/site/src/site/sitemap.groovy[site map] to include the newly released version.
  * Push the changes
  * Wait for the http://ci.groovy-lang.org/viewType.html?buildTypeId=Groovy_Website[CI website deployment build] to complete.
  
  == Send an announcement email
  
  You should wait 24h before doing this (in order for `dist.apache.org` to be properly mirrored).
  Send an email to `dev@`, `user@` and `announce@apache.org`.
  
  You can use this template. Please make sure that the email at least contains the DISCLAIMER:
  
  ```
  Dear community,
  
  We are pleased to announce the first release of Apache Groovy done under the Apache Software Foundation
  Incubator sponsorship! Apache Groovy is a multi-facet programming language for the JVM. Details can be
  found at http://groovy-lang.org
  
  This release is a maintenance release of the 2.4.x branch, but contains critical fixes, in particular a fix
  for a 0-day vulnerability. Details can be found on http://groovy-lang.org/security.html
  
  It is strongly encouraged that all users upgrade to this version. There is no plan to provide patches for
  older versions of Groovy which were not developped under the Foundation umbrella.
  
  Changelog for this version can be found at: http://groovy-lang.org/changelogs/changelog-2.4.4.html
  Sources can be downloaded from: http://www.groovy-lang.org/download.html
  Convenience binaries, SDK and documentation can be found at: http://www.groovy-lang.org/download.html
  
  We would like to thank all people who contributed to this release. In particular, thanks to our mentors who are
  having hard days at explaining the Apache Way :) Despite comments we received about this release, we felt that
  the security issue is so important that we deserved this to our community.
  
  Best regards,
  
  ----
  DISCLAIMER
  
  Apache Groovy is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache
  Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC.
  
  Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further
  review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision
  making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other
  successful ASF projects.
  
  While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the
  completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the
  project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
  
  ```
  
  * Broadcast the release on GVM. Open http://ci.groovy-lang.org/viewType.html?buildTypeId=Groovy_BintrayIntegration_GvmBroadcast[the GVM broadcast configuration], click on the 3 dots near `run` then on the _parameters_ tab, fill
  in the `groovyVersion` parameter. Click on `run build`.
