Hi everyone,

First of all, an apology - I usually send out this mail much further in advance. This process should have started some weeks ago! With that said...

GNOME 3.26 is scheduled for release on September 13th - that's exactly two weeks from now. This means we need volunteers to help with release marketing!

Time flies when you are having fun! 

The main tasks we need to cover are:

• Writing the release notes
• Writing a news post for gnome.org

I can help with the blog posts. 

• Collecting screenshots (to use in the release notes and a separate screenshot pack)

I could try to help here.. But need to run 3.26 first. 

• Social media - ideally needs a schedule for the run up to the day, people to post to Twitter, G+ and Facebook

I can handle G+. But it should be someone who has access to all 3.

• Release video (thankfully I think that Bastien is already working on this)
• Release parties
  

Does anyone have other ideas for things we should do?

I think we should have devs blog about stuff they have been doing for the past 6 months.  I think that  would allow for some excitement to build. 

I'm starting work on the release notes and can try and write the news post, but would appreciate help, especially with screenshots. If you can help with any of the other tasks, please let us know, or tune into #engagement.. 

Thanks, 

Sri 

Thanks!

Allan
