h3. HOWTO formally announce a release
* Alfredo announces to QA Lead, Project Lead & Release manager once the final packages are cut
* Release manager to create the release notes on the master branch
* Make corrections to components as much as possible in the release notes for easier tracking.
* Generate a changelog (this is only for backport releases) which could be done via
<pre>
git log tags/<prev.release>..tags/<current.release>
</pre>
And submit the pr to master; on docs/changelog/<release-version>.txt
* Once docs.ceph.com updates with the above files, and the right urls are checked, do a blog post on ceph.com with the correct links, this can be copy-pasted from the html rendered release notes
* Announce the email preferably with the plain text version of release notes, to, ceph-announce, ceph-users, ceph-maintainers, ceph-devel lists
* Inform Patrick (@scuttlemonkey) about the release so that @ceph tweets the release
