h3. HOWTO 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 by submitting a patch to <code>doc/releases/<named_branch>.rst</code> <code>doc/release-notes.rst</code> as a PR targeting the *master* master branch ** Release notes are generated using the script <code>src/script/ceph-release-notes</code> ** Make manual corrections to components as much as possible in the release notes for easier tracking. * Once http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/release-notes/ 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 (alternatively just ask jenkins to render docs via jenkins render docs and copy paste the related html , also the blog post can be saved as a draft in advance so that the publish button can be clicked once the packages are out. * Announce the email preferably with the plain text version of release notes, use discretion if the changelog is large.. in that case just a link to the blog might suffice with the major release announcements only in the email. The mail needs to be sent to ceph-announce, ceph-users, ceph-maintainers, ceph-devel lists * Inform Patrick (@scuttlemonkey) about the release so that @ceph tweets the release
