This is a TODO list for the release process. Anyone can follow it, although it is mostly done by the Release Manager. These events are listed in chronological order.

10 days before release:

• Create a draft release announcement on notes.lubuntu.me
• Contact testers to get an initial round of smoke testing and bugs, so release critical (RC) bugs can be properly raised to the Ubuntu Release Team
• Set forward which changes need to go in before the release, and which ones can wait

Release day:

• Convert the draft announcement to HTML, remove any editors notes, and reread one more time.
• Edit the Downloads page.
• Publish the announcement on the blog (be careful to look at the slug and follow the scheme).
• Post link to:
  • Twitter (which publishes to Mastodon)
  • Facebook page
  • Subreddit (sticky post and distinguish as mod)
  • lubuntu-devel and lubuntu-users mailing list
  • Telegram announcements channel
  • Forum announcements category
