Hi everyone,
I'm going to be offline for the next week. I'm leaving with some tasks
incomplete for the 3.26 release on 13 September. Here's what needs to be
done:
- Release notes:
- The Git statistics need updating from last release. There are notes
about this on the wiki [1]. Emily has said that she will chase Andre, but
whoever coordinates the release should make sure that it has been done.
- Someone needs to ask the sysadmins to publish the release notes
online with a password (I asked about this today, but didn't get
a reply).
Once they're up, log in and check that they are OK, in
particular that all
the screenshots are visible.
- News post: I've written a draft which is in gnome.org. It will need
finishing off on release day, as described in the instructions [2].
- Screenshot pack: this isn't essential, but if someone wants to do it,
there are instructions on the wiki [3] and you can see what we've done in
previous releases. You'll need to combine the screenshots I took (which are
in Nextcloud) with Andreas's and the ones from the release notes.
- Email to Friends of GNOME donors: this is good to do, but not
absolutely essential. Neil has said that he'll look into it.
- Social media: ideally we'd have done some posts in the run up to the
release, but we should at least make sure that we have announcements on
Twitter, Facebook and G+. Ideally the release coordinator should chase this
up.
- Release day: someone needs to coordinate the announcement. In addition
to what is documented on the wiki [2], they should also check that the
release notes are ready. Feel free to skip the step about updating the
screenshots on gnome.org - that can happen later.
Sorry to leave you over release day - good luck! If anything is unclear, do
email me (sooner rather than later!)
Allan
