-------------------

Lastly - our project could use help from another release nanny, if
anything to split the work between releases and automate as much as
humanly possible. At this point, it's a matter of running a few
scripts in https://github.com/dlobatog/foreman_release,
and following 
http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/Release_Process.

If you are interested, please reply here or contact me (dlobatog) on
#theforeman-dev IRC and I'll be happy to help you get started. The first
initial RC and the .0 release usually are a lot more work, but minor
releases are a good way to get introduced to how we do this.
