[VOTE] Release Apache Cloudberry (Incubating)

Subject:[VOTE] Release Apache Cloudberry (Incubating) 2.0.0-rc1

Hi all,

I would like to call a VOTE to release **Apache Cloudberry (Incubating) 2.0.0-rc1** — the first official Apache release of the project since it entered incubation.

While the community has produced releases prior to joining the Apache Software Foundation, this is our first release under the ASF's governance, following the official Apache release process and incorporating all relevant legal, licensing, and distribution requirements.

About Convenience Binaries

As this is our initial release under the Apache Software Foundation, we are not providing any convenience binaries (such as .rpm, .deb, or Docker images) as part of this vote. The official release consists solely of the source artifacts linked above.

We will be gathering input from the development community on which convenience binaries would be most useful and plan to make them available in the near future via appropriate non-release channels.

Please note: any such convenience binaries will not be official ASF releases and will be clearly labeled as such, in accordance with ASF policy.

Thanks for reviewing and voting!

Best,
