• Ensure that the release manager has bulk modification permissions on Apache Geode JIRA.

To verify

1. 1. Go to : https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa→ login → Issues → Search for Issues → select Geode in the Project list
   2. After logging in, on the top right side of the page click on Tools → Bulk Change → Current Page
   3. Select any ticket and click Next
   4. The Transition Issue option should not be blocked as N/A. If it is not blocked means that you have bulk operation permission.
   5. If you don't have permissions, send a mail requesting permission to dev@geode.apache.org.

• Ensure you have permission to modify the wiki for the release docs : Release Notes

• The release manager will need to have a Docker Hub credential that has permission to upload Apache Geode to Docker Hub. To get permissions follow the steps below

1. 1. If you don't have a docker hub account create one at https://hub.docker.com/
   2. After creating the docker hub ID, send an email to dev@geode.apache.org requesting access to upload Apache Geode artifacts to Docker Hub mentioning your docker id.

• Ensure that you have a valid pgp key.

1. 1. For MacOS use https://gpgtools.org/
   2. For Ubuntu https://askubuntu.com/questions/100281/how-do-i-make-a-pgp-key
   3. Ensure that the public key is published and uploaded to servers.
   4. Ask a fellow committer to co-sign the keys, this ensures that the keys are available on public servers.

• Add your public key block to KEYS file in develop branch if they are not already present in it.

1. 1. On MacOS : (More information available at https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#basic-facts)

      Code Block
      title On MacOS terminal
      (gpg --list-sigs <your name> && gpg --armor --export <your name>) >> keys.log

      
      

   2. Take the contents of keys.log and append it to KEYS file in the develop branch of Apache Geode. Commit and push to origin.
   3. Also, add the key fingerprint to https://id.apache.org under OpenPGP Public Key Primary Fingerprint. The fingerprint can be found in the GPG Keychain in MacOS or the second line of the command executed in step a.
   4. Also upload your public key into keyserver
      1. http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371
      2. http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371

   5. Sample key block which needs to be appended to the KEYS file in develop:
